Patent Attorney or Patent Agent?

InvetorsEd: “A patent agent generally makes half the hourly rate that a patent attorney makes, and the agents usually have practical engineering experience which patent attorneys generally lack. So I think that an inventor should have their patent application drafted by a patent agent, but reviewed by at least one patent attorney. I think that a patent agent is likely to understand the invention better than the patent attorney, but that the patent attorney is likely to better understand the nuances of claim wording.”

    I think this statement is true. People who go through law school may aspire to do other things than draft patents. The more patents you draft, the better you get. A patent agent whose career path is focused will become more experienced and expert in patent drafting over time.

    In my opinion, a person is not likely to become a good patent draftsman until they’ve had five, possibly 10 years experience. Additionally, they have to have the talent and a passion for understanding inventions. I would expect that only a small percentage of certified patent attorneys and patent agents achieve excellence.

  • Patent agent or attorney i dont care,because im not a lawyer or even and agent. its up to them who is more advantage.

  • What is a patent? It’s a legal document. Where do you use a patent? In other legal documents and courtrooms. It is first and foremost a legal document. I began as a patent attorney who only drafted patents but never litigated. After litigating patents, I would never recommend having anyone unfamiliar with patent litigation draft a patent. The rules in the courtroom are very different than the rules at the patent office, and if you don’t know what those differences are, you will make mistakes when prosecuting a patent.
