Can patent agents write their own patents?

During the period of engaging in patent agency business and within one year after leaving the patent agency business, you may not apply for a patent.

If you want to apply, you have to leave the agency business and you can resign for one year before applying for a patent.

Those who have not engaged in patent agency business or patent management for five years shall have their agent qualification certificate cancelled. In practice, apart from punishment, your qualification certificate will rarely be revoked voluntarily, and no one will take the initiative to check it.

After applying for a patent, you can re-apply for a practice license without re-testing the agent.
