If you are an inventor and you have a new invention that you would like to patent, then the safest way of going about obtaining that patent is to make use of patent lawyers. Patent lawyers, or patent attorneys as they are called in South Africa, have passed examinations in Intellectual Property Law and have qualified for membership of the South African Institute of Intellectual Property Law, and being members, are bound by a code of ethics that is administered by the Council of the Institute.
Patent lawyers must have an engineering or a science degree as well as their law degree, since this is an absolute necessity for the understanding of the technical drawings that must accompany any patent application.
