Registered Patent Agent

 

What is a Registered Patent Agent?

The PTO registers individuals as agents or attorneys who have passed the official "Examination for Registration to Practice in Patent Cases before the US Patent & Trademark Office". An individual who passes the exam is called a patent agent. Such an individual who also provides proof of good standing in a state's bar is called a patent attorney. Both individuals may file the same papers so that you may obtain a patent. The primary difference between an agent and an attorney is that an agent is not a lawyer and as such may not engage in activities that their local jurisdictions believe is "practicing law". Such activities might include license agreements, because these are contracts, or engaging in patent litigation. PTO details
