Career in Patents
Human intellect is the most important resource and intellectual property rights seek to protect innovation and ensure that unventor/author reserves rights of utility of his/her product. Patents is one of the branches of IPR which confer rights over an invention.
This field offer diverse career options like a legal career in IPR. There are 3 options in the legal field concerning IPR, viz working in a law firm, a legal process outsourcing firm or a corporate house. Specialization can also be done pertaining to particular aspect of IPR like pharmaceuticals, softwares, etc.
Another option available is to start off with the Govt. as a patent agent. After gaining some experience as a patent agent one may shift to a corporate house. In the case of Indian patent agent, a degree in Science, Engg., or Technology from any university in India is a pre-requisite.
There are courses in IPR and professionals having specialization have an edge over others. Rajiv Gandhi School of Intellectual Property Law offers LLB program in IPR. Diploma courses through distance education are offered by NLSIU, NALSAR, Amity Law School, IGNOU, etc. The confederation of Indian Industries offer IPCAP (a certificate course) and Global School of Intellectual Property offers PG Diploma, a full-time certificate course and an executive PG program.

Career Prospects in Biotechnology after Doctorate
Professor and readers: A full fledged doctor is usually given higher positions in the colleges and universities, this is also very respectful job and involves giving lectures to students and helping to shape their career. Source: http://biotechspectrum.blogspot.com/
Scientists: this post is present both in Govt research institutes and private companies for carrying out research and development, discovering new procedures, species drugs etc for the benefit of mankind, also to get patents for their work which gives them a right to get paid for their discovered products, many companies are also indulged in this field and offers best packages to their R and d personell eg. Ranbaxy, Biocon etc.

They can work in any field from biochemical procedures to stem cell research and cancer and aids treatment research etc. There is a huge demand of India scientist worldwide.this position is present for all field including Pharma, clinical research, Bioorganics etc.
Various field include
Drug Discovery - These scientists often havea backgrounds of molecular biology, cell biology, and exposure to today's hot biotech technologies like gene therapy or antisense.
Receptor Biology – it includes post of Receptor Biochemists, Molecular Biologists with experience in receptors and their ligands, and Cell Biologists with experience in G protein-coupled receptors.
Cell Biology - New fields of research in the cell therapy and tissue engineering sectors combine with the continuing need for mammalian cells as a production system for proteins. Cells are the engines and brains of many processes, and the biologist who understands these new frontiers is on the cutting edge of the job market. Source: http://biotechspectrum.blogspot.com/
Bioinformatics – this include work in Structural biology, genome annotations like that of human genome project ,computational chemistry, mathematics used in modeling complex structures or processes, biocomputational specialists may learn to make simpler molecules that produce the same end results
Bioanalytical Chemistry – For those who develop and validate the critical assays needed by both R & D and clinical manufacturing.
Formulations and Drug Delivery - Another career for both chemists and engineers are. Having a Ph.D. Pharmaceutical Chemist or Biochemist with experience in formulation chemistry and/or drug delivery technologies (i.e. controlled release) this is relatively new and not much exploited so have more openings for deserving candidates.
Clinical Research – a very promising field where in a good job a guaranteed in any clinical research company.
Bioprocess Engineering – Like fermentation products, bioactive foods biochemicals, biopesticides, enzymes, etc. This has growing daily needs in the market.
