Why can't liberal arts students take the patent agent exam?

The main task of a patent agent is to write patent documents that can effectively protect patented technology.

If you want to write a good patent document, you need to have a full understanding of technology. Sometimes, you may need to describe the technical characteristics in the form of induction and summary. If you are a liberal arts student, you may not grasp the technical level well.

For this reason, patent agents are required to have a background in science and engineering.
