Patent Agent

This role is ideal for Registered Indian Patent Agents holding a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, particularly those with 0-5 years of experience in IP-related work. Candidates should possess strong analytical, communication, and Microsoft Office skills, and be keen to contribute to invention disclosure and patentability assessments within a prestigious academic and research environment like IIT Madras.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely contract-based, temporary position initially for one year with no right to permanency. Those without a background in Chemical Engineering or relevant IP experience, or who are not registered Indian Patent Agents, will not meet the essential criteria.

Working with IIT Madras, a globally recognized institution, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research and intellectual property. While the position is contractual, it provides valuable experience in a high-caliber environment, enhancing a professional's resume for future opportunities in the IP domain. Career growth within the institution beyond the contract period is not guaranteed.
