What is a patent power of attorney? What qualifications do patent agents need? A patent power of attorney is an entrusted application to apply for a patent through an agent. If the patentee wants to apply for a patent through an intellectual property agency, he needs to apply for a power of attorney, so that the patent agency can help with patent application, trademark registration and copyright registration. Because the patentee is not very professional in the process of patent application, it is very necessary to entrust an agency to apply for a patent. The power of attorney for patent agency is a kind of power of attorney. Paragraph 3 of Article 16 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law stipulates that if an applicant entrusts a patent agency to apply for a patent and handle other patent affairs with the patent administration department of the State Council, it shall also submit a power of attorney indicating the authorization authority. To apply for an invention patent, utility model patent or design patent on behalf of the company, and all patent affairs within the validity period of the patent right shall be handled as a patent search report of the invention patent. The first part of the delegation authority in form includes two aspects, the first is the agent for patent application, and the second is the agent for all patent affairs within the validity period of the patent right after obtaining the patent right. This part actually summarizes all the affairs before and after obtaining the patent right, as long as it is the patent-related affairs entrusted by the patent agent.
