Article R421-4 of the French Intellectual Property Code

The indication of specialisation attached to the registration of persons qualified in industrial property may be that of patents for invention or that of trademarks, designs and models, on the basis of professional practice, supplemented, where appropriate, by that of engineer or lawyer, on the basis of diplomas.

Where appropriate, several specialisations may be combined.

An order of the Minister responsible for industrial property may provide for other specialisations if new professional qualifications in industrial property come to light.

Article R421-4

La mention de spécialisation dont est assortie l’inscription des personnes qualifiées en propriété industrielle peut être celle de brevets d’invention ou celle de marques, dessins et modèles, à raison de la pratique professionnelle, complétée, le cas échéant, par celle d’ingénieur ou de juriste, à raison des diplômes.

Le cas échéant, plusieurs mentions peuvent être cumulées.

Un arrêté du ministre chargé de la propriété industrielle peut prévoir d’autres mentions de spécialisation s’il apparaît de nouvelles qualifications professionnelles en matière de propriété industrielle.
