1) The above ranking applies to JD degree holders.
2) IP includes patent, copyright and trademark. The latter two may not bring in big business. As for patent, there are two areas: prosecution and litigation.

Patent litigation does not require a patent agent/attorney registration before USPTO.
3) In summary, it all depends.
