“…When a firm or an individual applies a patent for an invention, a patent attorney is typically hired to draft the patent application. The role of patent attorneys, and more generally, the role of service providers related to intellectual property rights (IPR agents and attorneys) has been a relatively under-researched topic in IPR literature until recently (Wagner, 2006;Somaya et al, 2007;Reitzig & Wagner, 2010;Somaya et al 2012;Gaudry, 2012;Frietsch et al, 2015;Süzeroglu-Melchiors, 2017;Süzeroglu-Melchiors et al, 2017;de Rassenfosse et al, 2018;Frietsch & Neuhäusler, 2019).…”

We analysed the use of professional representative services and related outcomes in patent, utility model, design right and trademark filings. We found that 1) there is a positive association between the use of a professional representative and the likelihood of grant or registration; 2) the demand for professional intellectual property rights (IPR) services is heterogeneous between IPR types: applicants are most likely to hire professional representatives (IPR agents and attorneys) for patents, followed by utility models, design rights and trademarks; and 3) individual applicants are less likely to use professional representatives compared to firm applicants.

The role of patent attorneys is usually overlooked in empirical analyses of patents. Using a large dataset of Polish patent applications, 2006–2015, and the econometric model of logistic regression with interactions, the article identifies factors contributing to the successful patenting outcomes. Patents are more likely to be granted for applications filed by multiple applicants, particularly if a scientific organization is involved. Industry, region and decisions to apply for international protection were found as relevant variables affecting the patent grants. The involvement of attorneys was found to be a strong predictor of the outcome, and the study considered multiple variables characterizing the prior experience of attorneys, including their performance, effectiveness, work with scientific or business clients and support for patent applications that were also filed for international protection. The findings offer novel insights into sources of patenting success, indicating that it’s not only important how the patent applications are drafted and what their detailed contents are, but also who exactly prepares them.
