My time at LexProtector with the patent and trademark team was genuinely enriching. From day one, I was given meaningful work . I got hands-on exposure to trademark searches, analyzing marks for likelihood of confusion, reviewing prior art, and understanding the end-to-end patent filing process — all of which are skills that are hard to develop without real practice. The work culture is extremely commendable, its well balanced and gives you opportunities to grow organically.

Hi all,

I am trying to resign from my employer and my offical notice period is of 3 months as per the agreement. The agreement also states that the employment can be terminated by either party with 3 months of notice or monthly gross salary in lieu of notice period.

Can someone suggest what should i do? What choices i am left with?
