Who's "I"? Even the R&D backbones of some domestic high-tech companies don't know. You have to ask those shameless people who steal other people's patents. Of course, the Intellectual Property Office can also define the identity of "I" in detail. In the past two years, "I" have helped many R&D personnel to apply for patents for their R&D achievements. Sometimes, "I" will stand in court to defend the company and protect the patents belonging to the company. This is "me", the warrior who defends intellectual property rights-patent management engineer! (Some are also called "intellectual property management engineers")
"Patent", to put it more mildly, is intellectual property, which is the "hard currency" for enterprises to dominate the market. At home, more and more enterprises want to apply for patents for the results of independent research and development. Huawei is the absolute leader of mainland enterprises in intellectual property protection. In 2005, the number of patent applications reached more than 3,000 (nearly 10 every day). And "I" is the professional and technical personnel urgently needed by enterprises, which can help enterprises turn technological inventions into patents. In addition, foreign companies applying for patents in China must go through the patent agency designated by China National Intellectual Property Administration, which also brings more space for my career development. Last year, there were 470,000 applications for intellectual property rights in China, but only 3,000 people have been defending intellectual property rights with me. In Guangdong, my team is weak, with only 300 people. Experts say that in Guangdong, there are not enough people in the 1 0,000 "I" industry!
In China, the patent industry is called one of the "three pillars" of China's patent system by China Intellectual Property News, and it has become a "sunrise industry" in China. In Shanghai and Wuhan, "I" can also apply for a series of titles, so that patent managers in all enterprises and institutions can declare and become my brothers and sisters. And because "I" is getting tighter in the market, the income will naturally rise. If you ask me about the appearance fee in China? At least one hundred thousand yuan a year!
At present, technology manufacturers, law firms or patent agencies all need "I" as a communication bridge between R&D engineers and legal personnel or lawyers. Therefore, in terms of knowledge and ability structure, "I" must have "technical background+legal foundation+foreign language level+management ability". Generally speaking, science and engineering graduates have a better chance to join my career and have the opportunity to become professional patent managers after training.
Compared with the past, "I" not only engaged in behind-the-scenes assistance and consultation, but also stood in court to defend the company in the face of patent litigation. Therefore, in addition to law and R&D majors, negotiation skills are also indispensable. With the accumulation of experience and experience, in the process of work, "I" have been in contact with the most advanced technology, and I am not worried that I am old and advanced-my knowledge structure is aging, my technology can't keep up with the times, and I will be eliminated. On the contrary, the older you get, the more popular you are.
Enterprise patent engineers are generally technical personnel engaged in intellectual property work in enterprises.
Enterprise patent engineers do not need to obtain patent agent qualification, of course, some are qualified.
The main work is responsible for patent retrieval, patent application, patent management, patent strategy formulation and patent infringement detection.
