Does anyone have any info regarding the prospects of the new LL.M. in Intellectual Property Law and Management? will it be a better choice for non-NLU students looking for firm jobs in IP, what can be the use of studying management with it? what kind of jobs one can expect. PLS HELP!

IP Management might be helpful if you are already working in-house and wish to understand the business/commercial perspective of IP. It won't be helpful at all in the law firm context. IP Management as a course for a fresher would not be beneficial in terms of securing a job as well, be it in-house or law firm. It is always 'desired' to have such skills but not a 'must have' even from in-house perspective. I did a WIPO DL 450 course last year and found it helpful while working in-house (mostly valuation, counselling of business units, etc.), however, when i moved to a law firm I rarely find myself doing this stuff. Very honestly, I see a lot of people skilled in IP valuation (a major part of IP Management), but trust me their methodology seemed to be flawed. I was looking for a course on valuation but couldn't find any. Gradually, I realized that you learn this over a period of time when you work in-house and the methodology varies between different companies. In fact there is no set principle to adopt, but mostly what works for a company's goals. Hope my response helps (I might have diverged a bit from the query, please ignore that).
