I want to be a patent agent. I am an undergraduate in applied chemistry and want to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Can you suggest what major to study next?

If you want to be a patent agent, you can improve your competitiveness through postgraduate study. Then give priority to applying for a master's degree in undergraduate direction, or you can apply for a master's degree in law. Because patent agency not only needs solid basic knowledge of science and engineering, but also needs a strong understanding of new technologies and the ability to explore and expand, as well as a certain understanding of civil law.

If you just want to engage in the patent agency industry, you don't need to take the postgraduate entrance examination or take the law exam to continue your studies. Because patent agents, whether patent agents, assistant patent agents or patent process personnel, do not need a bachelor's degree or above (a college degree in science and engineering can apply for the patent agent qualification examination).

Of course, it is feasible to apply for graduate students majoring in communication, computer, microelectronics, materials and automatic control.
