Qualification

The only qualification for Patent Attorneys in New Zealand is registration as a Patent Attorney. This qualification is gained through passing a series of exams that are run through the New Zealand Intellectual Property Office (IPONZ) each year. Candidates generally take three or four years to complete these exams.
