Hitesh Barot, a senior IP counsel and former vice president of technology policy at General Electric, died in a tragic accident on 21 May. Barot was pulled into the Narmada river by a crocodile near Bhalod, his native village in Gujarat. He was 48.
“He was one of the most dynamic in-house IP counsels,” said Shamnad Basheer, the founder of intellectual property blog SpicyIP. “Always full of wit and warmth, Hitesh livened up any room he entered or any discussion that he partook in. Just an absolutely wonderful guy. It is a tragic loss for the IP community.”
Barot began his career at McCutchen Doyle Brown & Enersen in California and worked there for roughly seven years, during which the firm was acquired by Bingham Dana and became known as Bingham McCutchen. He then worked at Intel as its director of global public policy in India and Santa Clara, California, before moving to GE in 2011.
