Patent attorney is an attorney who has the specialized qualifications necessary for representing clients in obtaining patents and acting in all matters and procedures relating to patent law and practice, such as filing an opposition. The term is used differently in different countries, and thus may or may not require the same legal qualifications as a general legal practitioner.
When you're seeking to patent your invention, you need a patent lawyer. Patent law is a highly specialized area of the law and a good patent lawyer will make sure that your invention is protected.
Who Are Patent Attorneys?
Not every lawyer can file a patent. To file a patent for an inventor, even a provisional patent application, a lawyer must pass a test and be registered with the patent office. To qualify to take the test, the lawyer must show education or certification in a technical field.
Having expert understanding of a particular area of patent law is enormously valuable. A lawyer that has dedicated a career to getting patents on inventions in telecommunications will know how to write a cell phone company’s patent, anticipate the patent office’s rejections and use the law to get you your patent. A patent lawyer’s expertise is also expensive. Patent attorneys are among the highest paid attorneys and innovative companies spend a lot of money to protect their intellectual property.
What Do Patent Lawyers Do?
Patent lawyers can help inventors research their invention, guide them through the patent application process and create a patent that will protect that invention. However, knowing how to do that the right way doesn't mean just graduating from law school.
How to Choose a Patent Lawyer?
A good patent lawyer must have the rare abilities of explaining, elucidating, clarifying and simplifying. Writing a good patent application takes legal knowledge, technical knowledge and then the ability to explain all of that in a clear, concise manner that can withstand attacks from some of the smartest patent attorneys in the country if the patent becomes litigated.
