Very informative thread, thanks.

Two questions:

1. Are the exit options substantially different for an IP litigator that does primarily copyright/trademark/trade secret work as opposed to patent work?

2. Looking at firm profiles at large "soft IP" groups, I've noticed a few litigators have listed experience with counseling and transactional matters. Would going to firm that lets you do some counseling meaningfully increase exit options?
Anyone talking about IP lit likely really means patent lit. Trademarks are the next most active area and are sorta similar, but the y are their own thing. I think I know like three people who do mostly copyright, and they are more general litigators. Kinda just the nature of each.
