The recipient will serve as a paid summer intern at Stryker for two to four weeks (with the possibility of a week or two onsite at a Stryker campus) and as a paid summer associate at McAndrews for six to eight weeks (based on the intern’s availability). While at Stryker, the recipient will be able to learn the business side of intellectual property law.

While at McAndrews, the recipient will have the chance to gain valuable experience in areas such as patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret litigation in federal district courts, administrative tribunals, and the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals; patent and trademark prosecution; due diligence; licensing; and intellectual property transactions. To facilitate the intern’s professional growth and learning, senior-level attorneys at Stryker and McAndrews will mentor the recipient. The recipient will also be eligible to receive an offer to return to McAndrews for the firm’s 2L summer associate experience.
