Hiring Alert: IP Associate at Sapienova IP, Mumbai (₹8 to 10 LPA)

Updated: 11 hours ago

The opening

Sapienova IP is adding an Associate to its IP team in Mumbai as it builds out its practice in the city.

  • Firm: Sapienova IP

  • Role: Associate, Intellectual Property

  • Qualification: 3-year or 5-year LL.B.

  • Experience: 1 to 3 years preferred

  • Location: Mumbai

  • Work model: Hybrid

  • CTC: ₹8 to 10 LPA, depending on experience and profile

How to apply: Comment on the LinkedIn post below. Profiles are screened against the eligibility criteria, and shortlisted candidates receive a Google Form for the next stage.

They are particularly looking for someone who is interested not merely in joining a team, but in working with them as they build and grow their IP practice in Mumbai.

Which brings up the harder question

You know what a trademark opposition is. Could you file one tomorrow? Correct form, within limitation, with a counter-statement that engages with the grounds actually raised?

That is what separates a shortlisted profile from a rejected one. Most candidates can explain Sections 9 and 11. Far fewer have drafted a reply to an examination report, prepared an evidence affidavit under the Trade Marks Rules, 2017, or advised a client on whether to fight, settle or rebrand.

Roles like this one keep opening. The bottleneck is not the vacancies. It is the number of applicants who can be handed a file on day one.

FAQs

Who is this course for?

Law students, fresh graduates and advocates with up to a few years of experience who understand IP law but have not yet handled filings, oppositions or enforcement work independently. No prior IP experience is required.

What if I miss a live class?

Every live session is recorded and made available on the website, so you can catch up in your own time. You also retain access to the book, sample drafts, templates and SMART notes.

Do I need a science or engineering background?

Not for this course. Patent drafting in technical fields and patent agent qualification require a science background, but trademark, copyright, design, opposition and enforcement work is open to law graduates from any discipline, and the course is structured accordingly.
