A Patent Engineer manages the entire life cycle of patent development. They identify new inventions with patent potential and conduct initial interviews with inventors to understand and document the invention's scope.

Collaborating with the design team, the Patent Engineer ensures there are no concerns related to copyright or existing patent infringements.

Once the details are finalized, the Patent Engineer submits the invention disclosure to an external patent attorney for formal drafting.
