Can I be a patent agent and lawyer at the same time?

It depends on what you say. It is not allowed by law, but there are many in reality.

According to the Patent Agency Regulations, a patent agent cannot hold a part-time job and must work for a patent agency. The Measures for the Administration of Lawyers also states that lawyers must practice full-time unless they are part-time lawyers.

However, in reality, there are many dual-certificate practitioners, and I have never heard of anyone affected by it.

So don't worry.
