During an interview for my first internship, I was talking about the writing in one of their TV spots which I really admired. One of my interviewers cut me off to say they didn’t do that spot because that brand wasn’t their client. I had done my research and was 99.9% sure it was their ad, but wasn’t about to argue with the SVP of Creative in my first professional interview. As I left the interview, I saw that exact spot playing on their reel in the lobby.

What’re your thoughts on this?

What’s your advise for someone looking to get into soft IP litigation (not an engineering / science major) but have been working in L&E for 3 years now.
