Job Opportunities in Intellectual Property Rights

India is now becoming a pioneer in outsourcing services and a knowledge economy. IP is a new interest for Indian inventors and growing Industries. To maintain its growth and to keep pace with the global competition, there is definite requirement to innovate, protect and build commercial and business strategy tools.

India has one of the largest numbers of talent pool of technology, science and engineers graduates from around the world. It has some of the most renowned technology institutes such as IIT’s and REC’s. But surprisingly, not a single institution or training program exists that offers IP and the entire gamut of patent portfolio management as a full-fledged “career option” for science graduates.
IP is a source of creating lucrative job opportunities and career opportunities for technically qualified professionals, academia and scientists

A number of academic institutes have started courses on IP, which are either short term programs or specialization at the post-graduate level. Some of these are IITs that have IP awareness programs as a part of their regular curriculum except for IIT Kharagpur, National Law Schools, Private Law Colleges like NALSAR, AIPS, IIPS, etc and private institutions like Global Institute of Intellectual Property (GIIP, Delhi)
