A patent attorney provides legal assistance in matters relating to industrial property law and the fight against unfair competition. Industrial property law includes, among other things: trademarks, inventions, utility models, and industrial designs. A patent attorney can act as an attorney in proceedings aimed at obtaining protection, for example, before the Polish Patent Office or the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), but also in court cases aimed at enforcing the protection obtained.
Therefore, in the field of industrial property, a patent attorney performs a similar role to lawyers and legal advisors in relation to other areas of law. Most often, patent attorneys prepare applications for inventions, utility models, industrial designs, or trademarks for their clients. The clients of a patent attorney can be companies, entrepreneurs, or creators.
