Innovations ensure technical progress, economic success and stability. Patent attorneys play an important role in increasing the dynamics of innovation in Europe by working at the interface between technology and law to obtain intellectual property rights. They can provide comprehensive advice and representation for inventions, innovations, trademarks, designs and know-how and thus ensure the success of a company with innovations, designs or trademarks. To be able to work as a patent attorney, you must have completed a technical or scientific degree and be licensed to practice as a patent attorney. Admission is effective after postgraduate legal studies and training with a patent attorney with the issue of a certificate of admission issued by the German Patent and Trade Mark Office or, since 2009, by the Chamber of Patent Attorneys. It entitles the holder to practise the profession under the title “Patent Attorney”.
