Patent agent certificate examination subjects:

With the vigorous development of intellectual property-related industries, the competition between Chinese and foreign enterprises for intellectual property talents is heating up gradually, and the role of intellectual property talents in enterprises is becoming more and more important. On the one hand, some important patent applications of enterprises need to be completed in time through patent agents. On the other hand, when an enterprise finds a patent that poses a great threat to itself in the competition, or when a competing enterprise files a patent lawsuit against it, it needs a patent agent to safeguard its own rights and interests.

In recent years, some enterprises suffering from intellectual property rights began to recruit a considerable number of intellectual property talents. The intellectual property departments of multinational companies such as Siemens, IBM, Intel and Microsoft are all hundreds of people, and Sony has more than 400 intellectual property professionals.
