WHAT IS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY? AND WHAT ARE THE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES?

The World Intellectual Property Organization defines intellectual property as

Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind: inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce.

THE ONE THING THAT WILL HELP YOU FULFILL YOUR DREAMS IS ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTION AT THE RIGHT TIME. AND, OF COURSE, FINDING THE RIGHT ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS.

WHETHER YOU ARE A WORKING PROFESSIONAL LOOKING TO ACCELERATE YOUR CAREER GROWTH OR A STUDENT LOOKING FOR A LUCRATIVE OPPORTUNITY,

A new world
As we move from a bricks and mortar economy to a knowledge economy, the majority of a companys assets are intellectual in nature. To gain an advantage in a fiercely competitive global market, the management of a company is also interested in ensuring that those assets are well protected and managed, to maximize the return on investment.

Growing need for professionals

It is widely believed that as companies increasingly recognize the importance of their intellectual assets, there will be an increasing number of roles for IP managers, as well as an increased need for IP service providers, such as patent analysts, patent agents, IP consultants, IP attorneys, valuation experts, portfolio managers and the like. This requirement is driven by: A need to improve the quality of Indias current and future pool of technical manpower An increasing demand for patent and related services globally A growing outsourcing / off shoring opportunity in the field of patents from the US, Europe, Japan A quantum jump in R&D costs with an associated jump in investment required for putting a new technology in the market place. Hence the need to protect the knowledge from unlawful use has become expedient. Across the world a few million patents are filed each year. In addition, there is the task of patent maintenance, management, litigation and so on. All this requires highly skilled technical and legal minds, as several billion dollars of business is involved.
