definition
A patent lawyer generally refers to a person who has obtained a patent agent qualification certificate and a judicial qualification certificate (lawyer qualification certificate), holds a patent agent practice certificate and a lawyer practice certificate, and is engaged in full-time affairs in a law firm.
Due to the special professional certification of "patent lawyer", every practicing lawyer can represent patent litigation, including patent infringement litigation, patent confirmation litigation and patent infringement administrative litigation. Without the qualification of patent agent, you cannot act as an agent for patent application, patent reexamination and patent invalidation.
To engage in patent agency business, one must have the qualification of patent agent. As a patent agency and patent agent, you must have a full-time patent agent. If these patent agents want to engage in patent litigation business, they must be registered in the Supreme People's Court before they can engage in it. Of course, even if you register, you can only engage in patent-related litigation business, and you can't engage in litigation business other than patent-related litigation business.
