A patent agent helps inventors apply for patents. Patent agents are not lawyers, but they have met the Patent Office’s educational requirements and they have passed the “patent bar” exam.
Agent Or Attorney?
You may choose either a patent agent or a patent attorney for representation before the US Patent office.
Need An Agent ?
Sometimes it is difficult to draw up a patent application. The application needs to be done correctly from the beginning - no additions are allowed once the patent has been filed.
