The basic rights and duties of patent attorneys are studied. Characterized functions of the activity of the patent attorney in relation to the acquisition, implementation, and protection of the rights to the invention. Patent attorney – a person who has acquired the corresponding status in the established order and renders services in the professional representation in the field of intellectual property on the basis of a civil law contract, which consists in the implementation on behalf of the physical and legal persons of actions related to the filing of applications and obtaining security documents for industrial property rights in Ukraine, as well as their representation in state authorities, in relations to other bodies, individuals, and legal entities. The rights and obligations of the patent attorney, which are enshrined in the current provisions, are non-systemic, do not give a complete picture of the professional nature of the services provided by the patent attorneys. The promising activity of patent attorneys is the activity of issuing compulsory licenses. There is no law enforcement practice in Ukraine regarding compulsory licensing but there are corresponding legal rules. A compulsory license is a license issued to a legal entity or individual in response to a request by a government agency (in Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine) for the industrial use of a patented invention and/or the importation of articles incorporating a patented invention; such a license may be issued against the will of the owner of the patent.
