Very few people and firms do quality media and entertainment work. If you find one, then that's a great alternative to IP litigation.
You'll at least rack in some work-ex
It'll help you more when the opportunity opens up for some non-lit vacancy
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.
Peeps, someone say something. Please help out your juniors/ peers
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
