I’m looking to get into IP lit. I currently do ID lit (primarily auto). I’m only 7 months into practice. What are the chances I’ll be accepted into an IP lit position? If so, what kind of salary/bonuses should I expect?

I was in ID for 6 months and jumped into patent lit. It’s an uphill battle, but if you have a science background, you’ll have a better shot. Feel free to DM me if you’d like to know more.

I just made a similar move. I’ve been in practice for 2.5 years. Went from Plaintiffs PI work to IP lit. You really need to push whatever litigation experience you have. Litigation is litigation. I think you are still early enough on that they won’t hold the ID stuff against you. I went to a mid size firm that is paying below market, but I figured I can get the experience and then move into a market paying firm.

A1 they really dove into my lit experience. I’ve had motion practice and depo experience. I’ve also had experience with federal court which they liked. Whatever hands on lit experience you’ve had, I would highlight that in your resume and in an interview. And, if you are in the process of looking, I would continue to get us much lit experience you can and just keep updating your resume.

I did take a class year cut considering I don’t have any experience in IP but I was fine with that.

I’d love to retool into one of the more interesting litigation fields. 7th year, spent 4 years as an oil and gas title attorney and have been doing real estate, commercial and estate/fiduciary litigation for about 3 years.

IP lit def seems like an emerging practice area with lots of novel concepts and big damages at stake.

All overruled. OC's latest brief in opposition to our motion to compel is a 13-page, babbling, word-salad mess with 126 pages of exhibits. It does not address our arguments and any 1L could have written a better brief. Judge should punish her!
