¿Qué puede hacer por mí un abogado especializado en patentes? Por lo general, un abogado especializado en patentes dará los pasos necesarios para asegurarle una patente, para cuestionar la decisión gubernamental de rechazar una solicitud de patente y para proteger sus derechos como inventor de un producto patentado. Lo primero que hace un abogado especializado en patentes es realizar la búsqueda de patente necesaria para asegurarse de que nadie más haya obtenido una patente por su invento o diseño. 3, record 4, Spanish, - abogado%20especializado%20en%20patentes

In Canada, (outside Quebec) a lawyer is both barrister and solicitor, whereas in England, there is a distinction: The barrister does the actual court work, presenting and arguing the case in court, but does not prepare the case from the start; the solicitor's function is to assemble the legal materials, do the research and compile the legal precedents. A solicitor also is employed to perform a wide variety of legal work, such as the preparation of documents like wills and mortgages, conveyancing, company work and advising on tax matters. 2, record 5, English, - solicitor
