NVIDIA • Santa Clara, CA • 1d ago

NVIDIA redefined modern computer graphics, high performance computing and artificial intelligence. We are well positioned as the 'AI Computing Company,' and our GPUs are the brains powering Deep Learning software frameworks, accelerated analytics, big data, modern data centers, smart cities, and driving autonomous vehicles. If you are forward-thinking, hardworking, driven and if collaborating with extraordinary people across countries sounds interesting, this job is for you.

We're looking for a seasoned attorney to join the NVIDIA team as Senior Counsel, Trademark. This role advises on a broad range of trademark and brand-related legal matters, with an emphasis on clearance, prosecution and enforcement work. You'll partner closely with NVIDIA's other trademark, product and commercial attorneys, business leaders, outside counsel, and internal stakeholders to protect, grow and commercialize our brand portfolio!

What you'll be doing:

Develop and implement comprehensive legal strategies and solutions to support NVIDIA's brand initiatives, aligning trademark protection and enforcement with business objectives.

Oversee the trademark clearance and prosecution process to protect and strengthen the company's global intellectual property portfolio, working closing with outside counsel and diverse internal partners.

Develop scalable processes, templates, playbooks and training crafted to enable cross-functional teams to make informed, rapid decisions while aligning with legal and regulatory requirements.

Advise on a wide range of brand-related matters, including rights of publicity, brand collaborations, social media campaigns, promotional materials, and user-generated content to ensure compliance with trademark and related laws.

Lead online brand enforcement initiatives, handling domain name dispute resolution (e.g., UDRP proceedings), and overseeing proactive monitoring and removal of trademark infringements across digital platforms, social media, and online marketplaces.

What we need to see:

6-10 years' relevant legal experience in trademark clearance, prosecution, portfolio management, licensing and enforcement.

Demonstrated knowledge of managing a large global trademark portfolio in a wide range of jurisdictions.

Experience advising on rights of publicity, brand collaborations, social media content and user-generated content.

Juris Doctorate from an accredited US law school; admitted to the bar and in good standing in the jurisdiction of hire, or otherwise authorized to practice law (e.g., have registered in-house status).

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Ability to navigate and break down complex legal issues into actionable advice covering a broad range of interdependent issues, balance risk with business need, and ask tough questions.

Proven ability to deliver results in fast-paced, high-growth or in-house legal environments.

Self-starter who excels at managing projects, prioritizing tasks and working both collaboratively with many different partners and independently.

Prior experience in trademark litigation or judicial clerkships is a plus.

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you have initiative and creativity, we want to hear from you!

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/benefits/) .

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until September 7, 2025.
