I recently completed my masters from a University up North, for a good fortune, and having a good enough capacity to recreate/ reenact a landmark judgment's hearing. That's all the necessary deets for the name. Graduated from MU, want to live here as I belong to the city
What's the IP non-litigation hiring scene for freshers looking like? I have been applying but really not hearing back from anyone. Is Mumbai the right option for non-lit IP, or do I need to broaden my cities? I truly thought it was more of Delhi for lit and Mumbai for non-litigation, but am I missing something out here? This is getting really tiring for me, those having proper advice and any inside info or the trends, please pitch in.
Mods, please bump this
Peeps, someone say something. Please help out your juniors/ peers
IP litigation is the real money maker. DHC has a really well established IPD framework. Bombay, Madras and other HCs are catching up. However Bombay does not have a dedicated IPD yet. Bonus point is you get original side civil-commercial litigation exposure at the High Courts, so you can also lateral switch to other fields of litigation later in your career. On the contrary if u choose IP Prosecution it gets real hard to switch areas later cause of the limited exposure.
You'll at least rack in some work-ex
It'll help you more when the opportunity opens up for some non-lit vacancy
Very few people and firms do quality media and entertainment work. If you find one, then that's a great alternative to IP litigation.
