Quality Professional Service

The patent and trade mark attorneys on staff have had experience in dealing with preparing and filing applications, prosecuting applications, managing and enforcing rights of patents, designs and trade marks in Australia, New Zealand and other overseas countries.  The patent and trade mark attorneys are registered Australian and New Zealand patent and trade mark attorneys.

We appreciate that the commercial value of an invention, design or trade mark is encapsulated in the associated intellectual property rights.  If the intellectual property rights are not properly prepared, prosecuted and managed, then others may freely infringe or potential licensees simply "work around" the patent, design or trade mark.

Foster Client-Attorney Relationship

We provide free information regarding patents, designs and trade marks written from an applicant’s point of view and in regards to commercialisation of their project. 

Our initial consultation with a new client is free and we advise the client of their options before they provide us with instructions.

We also prepare a summary table of each client's IP portfolio, identifying the IP and next required action and if possible expected costs, so to assist a client in managing their IP and budget for the upcoming year.  The summary table is prepared on an annual basis and free of charge.

We provide an ongoing service in attending group or strategy meetings and advise on direction to provide maximum protection.

We actively encourage clients to exploit their inventions and as a consequence our clients have a comparatively high success rate in commercialising their inventions.  We can also provide advice on strategies for commercialising an invention based on our clients’ cumulative experience.
