The difficulty is the same.
A patent agent is a person who has obtained professional qualifications and represents others in patent applications and other patent affairs.
The practice of a patent agent should meet certain conditions. Upon approval, the State Intellectual Property Office will issue a patent agent qualification certificate. After one year of internship, the practice should be registered through the patent agency management system. Asset appraisers refer to asset appraisal professional managers who have passed the asset appraiser professional qualification examination, obtained the "Asset Appraiser Professional Qualification Certificate" and been registered with the China Asset Appraisal Association. They are mainly engaged in asset appraisal work. According to the "Decision of the State Council on Canceling and Adjusting a Group of Administrative Approval Items and Other Matters" (Guofa [2014] No. 27) issued by the State Council on August 12, 2014, the professional qualification license and recognition of registered asset appraisers were cancelled.
