As wikipedia describes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent_attorney)
A patent attorney is an attorney who has the specialized qualifications necessary for representing clients in obtaining patents and acting in all matters and procedures relating to patent law and practice, such as filing an opposition. The term is used differently in different countries, and thus may or may not require the same legal qualifications as a general legal practitioner.
Such data may be useful to be introduced f.i. in applicants disambiguations (two very similar names filing via the same attorney are more likely to be the same company...)
Bytheway suc data is not available in patstat, but is in USPTO data
