Patent examiners assess applications for patents, which are granted to inventors to give them the right to stop other people using, selling or making their inventions. The role also includes checking that the invention is new, not merely an adjustment to something which already exists, by carrying out searches using National and foreign patent specifications, technical literature and databases.
Patent examiners develop specialist expertise within a particular area such as biotechnology or electrical engineering, but opportunities may arise to change specialist subject areas.
