About the role
The U.S. Department of Commerce, through the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) within the USPTO, is seeking qualified candidates for a paralegal specialist. The role supports attorneys, reviews and processes IP-related documents, and handles case management for oppositions, cancellations, and appeals.
Applicants must meet OPM qualification standards and the GS-09 or GS-11 criteria. Education can substitute for experience; relevant training and volunteer work are considered.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
