How do I get an entry level ip counsel job?
Start by gaining hands-on exposure through law school clinics, patent prosecution internships, or clerkships with firms that handle trademark or copyright work. Employers at this level look for a J.D., bar admission or candidacy, and any practical experience drafting claims or responding to office actions.
