Why do you say that? Because whether an inventor can obtain a patent for his invention depends on the patent application, and the patent agent plays a decisive role in the whole application process. Patent agency is a legal and highly technical work, and it is difficult for technicians without special training and legal workers without technical background to complete this work well. Therefore, this industry requires high comprehensive quality of practitioners, and each patent has a lot to learn from scratch.
Insiders pointed out that patent agents should have a professional background in science and engineering, and it is best to have experience in scientific research and product development, so it is easy to have a * * * relationship with inventors. Whether the patent agent can understand the applicant's technical content and invention points and correctly divide the scope of patent protection is a condition for writing patent application documents, and it is also the key to whether the applicant can get effective protection after obtaining the patent right in the future. In addition, we should be good at induction and know how to describe the inventor's products in patent language. In addition, he should have legal knowledge. Once the inventor's product involves infringement, disputes and other issues, if he wants to go to court, he will know more about the corresponding procedures. At the same time, I have to take an examination of professional English, because he has to help the inventor find information, many of which are from abroad. The ability to communicate with others is also a necessary quality for a patent agent. He needs to communicate with the inventor and let him talk about what an invention is.
Wan, director of the Patent Division of China Trademark and Patent Office, believes that patent agents are engaged in a profession characterized by diligence, wisdom and integrity. A good patent agent should not only be able to represent patent cases, but also have considerable social experience and social relations and be able to operate patents in the market. Therefore, the patent agent is a compound talent who integrates patent legal knowledge and patent technical knowledge, and requires high comprehensive quality.
