To be a patent attorney, you have to pass the relevant national\/European qualifications. However, you do not need to qualify before starting work in this area: companies hire directly from scientific undergraduate and graduate programmes \u2013 and will also consider applications from postdocs. New hires work in a trainee role, supporting the qualified patent agents\/attorneys in their work and receiving the necessary training to qualify as a patent agent\/attorney. In the US, a legal degree is required for some advanced aspects of patent work (e.g. to represent a client in court); many US companies will also sponsor the completion of a part-time law degree for their patent agents. In Europe, trainees take national\/European qualifying exams, and a law degree is not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patent examiner:&nbsp;<\/strong>work at the national or European patent offices rather than for a client. They look at the patent applications submitted by the patent lawyer\u2019s office, judge whether the patent meets the criteria, and assess patent infringements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Technology transfer\/IP specialists:<\/strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em>technology transfer helps bring academic research with commercial potential to the market. Technology transfer offices in universities and research institutes evaluate the commercial potential of research and technologies,&nbsp; coordinate IP protection for innovations (e.g. patents), and support the development towards the market through the establishment of spin-off companies or partnerships\/licensing with industry. Technology transfer offices offer various roles that coordinate and manage these activities. These typically work closely with scientists\/inventors in academia, external IP professionals (e.g. patent lawyers) and\/or industry stakeholders. Some roles specialize in specific areas, e.g. on IP protection or in business development (building up connections with relevant stakeholders e.g. in pharma and biotech \u2013 please see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/embl-fellows-career-service\/info-resources\/exploration\/business-development\/\">Business development&nbsp;<\/a>post).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"vf-tabs__section\" id=\"vf-tabs__section-0e516856-67d5-40f7-8a48-9fb56f3d4d9c\"><h2>Career entry and progression<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Patent attorneys<\/strong>,&nbsp;generally work in private law firms, which are set-up like lawyer\u2019s offices \u2013 with partners that own the company and more junior staff who are employed. PhDs and postdocs usually start in a trainee role (sometimes also called \u201ctechnical assistant\u201d), and these do not need any additional experience. After getting qualified you typically become an associate, and over time it is expected that you will build the necessary experience to work autonomously. When you are more experienced, you can get promoted to more senior roles and eventually become a partner.&nbsp; Some patent attorneys also move to become an in-house patent attorney in industry, or in the tech transfer offices of large universities or research institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Example job titles:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Patent attorney<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patent agent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patent analyst<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patent examiner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patent counsel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patent officer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In technology transfer,<\/strong>&nbsp;there are a range of roles that are possible to enter directly from a PhD or postdoc.

Those working in this field must be able to sift through large volumes of information quickly to find relevant points, and have a strong eye for details. For patent lawyers, the ability to write precisely is also required \u2013 patents need to be written such that they are specific enough to be granted, but broad enough that competitors can not easily produce a similar product that does not breach the patent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Language requirements<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The European Patent Office has three official languages: English, French and German. When applying for posts at the European patent office, there are therefore <a href=\"https:\/\/jobs.epo.org\/content\/Profile\/?locale=en_GB#:~:text=Excellent%20knowledge%20(at,would%20be%20required).\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">specific language requirements<\/a>. European companies also might require you to speak at least two of the three languages when applying to patent attorney roles, and\/or invest time in language training during your
