Journey of M.Sc. graduate to JOPAT

We are sharing the success story of one of our alumni Udita. Currently she’s working at Quintiles IMS in Gurugram. Completed her M.Sc. in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics from IGNOU Banglore. She was previously a Project Officer at the School of Biological Sciences, and also worked as a trainee at GANIT Labs. After having the work exposure, her interest turned toward Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). Later, after a lot of research, she discovered the Job-oriented Patent Analyst Training Program (JOPAT) of IIPTA.

In this 3-months JOPAT program of IIPTA, she learned about laws associated with trademarks, copyrights, and patents in India and the U.S. and how they are helpful in the IPR industry.

Also, he learned about patent searching in databases. Indian Patent Office (IPO), United States Patents and Trademarks (USPTO), European Patent Office (EPO), Google Patents and World Intellectual property Organization (WIPO). She also mentioned how live classes helped her grasp the knowledge of IPR. She expressed how the JOPAT program IIPTA helped her to learn practical knowledge in the domain of IPR and also in personality development.

Intellectual property (IP) is an intangible property that comes into existence through human intellect. It refers to the creations of the mind or the products of human intellect such as inventions; designs; literary and artistic works; symbols, names and images used in commerce.

Today she is successfully placed in QuintilesIMS, a leading Healthcare Firm, on the post of Patent Analyst with a very good salary package and she is performing well at her job. Udita gives most of the credit for her success to her parents and IIPTA who helped her find the route of excellence. We wish her luck in her future endeavours.
