Who can be a Patent Agent? Discuss their rights, qualification and disqualification for registering as a patent agent.
Patent agent is a person, authorized by law to deal with patent applications. They are engaged in protecting intellectual property and preventing infringement.
A person who is qualified to prosecute patents (i.e. drafting and filing a patent application) is known as a patent agent. Given the fact the drafting a patent requires specific technical as well as legal knowledge, only a person qualified in both domains will be able to fulfill the obligations of patent prosecution. In India, a patent can be prosecuted through a registered Indian patent agent. Section 126 of the Indian Patents Act, 1970 envisages the qualifications for becoming a patent agent.
The statutory requirements for becoming a patent agent are:
- Be a citizen of India;
- Have completed the age of 21 years;
- Have obtained a degree in science, engineering or technology from any University established under law for the time being in force in the territory of India.
- Have passed the qualifying exam prescribed for the purpose.
The qualifying exam stated in point (d) is the Patent Agent Exam that is conducted every year by the Controller General of Patents. Passing this exam is a must in order to qualify as a registered Indian patent agent.
