[PIUG List] requirements for becoming professional searcher

Dear PIUG Colleagues,

I'm curious what the requirements are for becoming a professional patent =
searcher, particularly in the mechanical and/or electrical arts, either a=
s freelance/contract or working for a company. Is certification or licens=
ing required? What type of
legal liability is assumed? Any thoughts you may have are welcomed, pleas=
e reply off list and I will post a summary for the list later.

Thank You,
