First, you have two years of relevant work experience in science and engineering, and you are now studying for one year, that is, you have only one year of work experience, so you can't apply for the exam.
second, the examination for special agents is divided into three parts, namely, patent law, related law and agency practice. If you haven't worked in a firm or company, then your biggest difficulty lies in agency practice, such as patent writing, OA reply, invalidation review, etc., which are based on the understanding of patent law.
If you plan to take the patent agent exam, you can start with the combination of patent law and agency practice, which requires more understanding and practice, and is a process of experience. Wait until the second year of graduate school before signing up for the exam. The time is the exam in November. If the foundation is not firm, you can apply for a basic course training class.
Now, to answer your question, if everything above is ready. Just start reviewing in May every year. The patent law is mainly based on the review guide, and the agency practice looks at the Patent Agency Practice and the books written.
It is enough to review the relevant laws 3-4 months before the exam. There are many contents in this part, but you are a master of law, and the foundation of relevant laws should be good. It is easier to review this part than people without systematic laws.
Many of these contents can be found on the blog forum, so you can have a look at them yourself.
I have asked many people who have passed the special education and the department examination, and the special education is still relatively simple.
if you only want to write patents and answer OA in the future, it's ok to take a patent agent exam. If you want to have a higher level of development, I suggest taking a department exam at the same time. After all, doing a patent lawsuit is much more challenging than writing a patent, and of course you will earn more. . .
A qualified patent agent should not only work in a patent office, but also in the company's legal department or intellectual property department. This is just like being a judge and a lawyer, and of course he can do it with ease in the future.
I hope I can help you with this. There are still many things that have not been said. If there is anything you don't understand, you can also bring it up.
While you are still familiar with legal knowledge, pass the exam while the iron is hot! ! !
