What are the development prospects and treatment of patent engineers?

A person who writes a patent is called a patent agent. He works in a patent agency with a basic salary and a commission for writing a case.

The person in charge of patent in an enterprise is called a patent engineer, who is generally responsible for the patent process and docking with the agency business, earning a dead salary.

The former means that capable people work hard, and those who work hard earn much. The latter is easier and earns less.

Every industry has prospects. It follows the law of 28. Whether you can climb to the top of the pyramid depends on someone. Of course, it is luck to meet a very good prospect. For example, the current blockchain, after all, a pig can fly on the tuyere, and the patent industry does not belong to this industry.

If it is a patent engineer recruited by a law firm or an intellectual property agency, this position is mainly an auxiliary patent agent, or a person who has not yet obtained the qualification of a patent agent. Patent agents are essentially engaged in legal work.

Therefore, in addition to a solid background in science and engineering, you need to learn more about law and foreign languages. If the law has the conditions, take the patent agent qualification certificate and lawyer certificate. Besides English, German and/or Japanese are the preferred foreign languages.

If you are a foreign-related patent engineer, you have higher requirements for foreign language and Chinese expression. Your main job is scientific translation, but you will get started soon.
