62 Ip Attorney jobs in India

Air Distribution Technologies Inc. is seeking a detail-oriented and strategic Intellectual Property (IP) Analyst to support the expansion and protection of our patent portfolio. In this role, you will collaborate closely with engineers and business teams to identify innovations, assess patentability, and assist in IP strategy development.

We are seeking a confident IP professional who excels in communication and stakeholder engagement.
