I'm Deepanshi Mittal, an IP Consultant at StellarStart Global and a graduate of Himachal Pradesh National Law University, Shimla (B.B.A. LL.B., Hons.). My work is grounded in the trademark prosecution lifecycle from global availability searches and examination report responses to oppositions and evidence-stage proceedings. At StellarStart, I conduct trademark availability searches across the US, UK, Australia, and EUIPO jurisdictions, and support copyright litigation matters and client communication. My background also includes trademark prosecution and litigation experience across multiple Indian IP practices. I help students navigate three key stages: choosing the right law college, making the most of their five years once there, and figuring out the right career path afterward. For prospective students, I guide college selection what to actually look for beyond rankings. For current students, I help build a strong foundation across academics, moot court competitions, mediation competitions, paper publications, and internships throughout the five years. For those deciding on a career direction, I help think through the options available. And for students specifically drawn to Intellectual Property as a career, I offer focused guidance what to look for in an IP career, which firms to target for internships, and what the day-to-day work of an IP advocate actually involves.
