Sectors & Expertise

We have worked with organisations operating in aerospace and defence since the 1980s – advising research institutions, suppliers to Prime contractors, and consultants supporting defence-related projects.

Our experience spans traditional agricultural technologies through to highly advanced, data-driven solutions.

Our clients in this sector include producers of cosmetics and skincare, luxury and ready-to-wear fashion, outdoor and performance apparel, automotive products and office supplies.

We work with government bodies and universities including CRCs, medical research institutes, government agencies, defence and infrastructure bodies to support the protection, management and commercialisation of intellectual property arising from research and innovation.

We work with organisations across the energy, resources and renewables sector – including mining and mineral processing companies, clean technology developers, research institutions and international energy businesses.

We help businesses in this sector face complex IP challenges, particularly in Australia, where patentability standards for software and computer-implemented inventions are among the most stringent globally.

We work with manufacturers across a broad range of industries, supporting innovation from early product development through to large-scale production, global distribution and enforcement.

We provide clear end-to-end IP support to this sector, including patentability and freedom to operate searches, patent drafting and prosecution in Australia and overseas, patent term extension, design registration, product launch support, oppositions and enforcement of rights, and drafting, reviewing and negotiating key commercial agreements.
