The discussion centres on the evolving role of the paralegal in patent portfolio management. The team explores how the profession has shifted from being primarily attorney-directed to paralegals taking a more proactive, client-facing, and autonomous role. They discuss the impact of new certifications, such as the European Patent Administrator Certification (EPAC), and how these qualifications have boosted confidence, knowledge, and client trust.
