Is there a future for patent retrieval analysts?

Personally, it depends on the company. In a small company, this position is more like soy sauce, because there is nothing to do and you can't learn much.

If a large company pays more attention to intellectual property rights, there will be a lot of related work, and patent retrieval and analysis are also very important work, which can avoid repeated research and development, reduce the risk of infringement, and even study competitors' patents. If it is done well, the profit will be greater.

In short, the platform is very important!
