A patent attorney is a licensed professional qualified to draft, file and prosecute patent applications and provide broader legal advice, including litigation, unlike a US patent agent who can only handle the technical patent work. In the US both are registered to practise before the USPTO; in Europe the equivalent professionals are European patent attorneys registered with the EPO and national practitioners such as UK chartered patent attorneys and German Patentanwälte.
