Beyond granting you the exclusive right to prevent others from making, selling, importing or using your invention, a well-structured patent can enhance your organisation’s value and attract investors, partners and licensees.
Our team of registered patent attorneys combine deep technical expertise with genuine curiosity, commercial insight and industry experience. This allows us to understand the intricacies of your innovation and tailor protection strategies that align with your business goals.
Our clients range from start-ups and research institutions to multinational corporations and international associates. We work across multiple areas of technical expertise and sectors and have assisted thousands of organisations in securing patents across Australia, New Zealand and international markets. Regardless of size or stage, we work to understand what makes each client’s work unique and help them realise its potential through effective IP protection.
We also offer integrated support across contentious matters and commercial law – capabilities that are often outsourced by IP firms. This allows us to assist with disputes, licensing negotiations, collaboration agreements and broader commercial arrangements, providing efficient, end-to-end support throughout the lifecycle of your matter.
For clients with large IP portfolios, we can provide access to our secure online platform, IPSYS. This platform enables clients to download portfolio reports, view upcoming deadlines, easily instruct us on renewals, and to monitor spend. Exclusive to our firm, IPSYS is a unique web-based portal that allows our clients to view their intellectual property portfolio online in real time.
With a diverse network of contacts throughout the Asia Pacific region, we also act as a central point of contact for coordinated IP protection outside of Australia. Our Asia DirectTM offering helps manage filings, prosecution and enforcement throughout the Asia Pacific, providing streamlined communication, consistent strategy and reliable local insight.
Whether you are a foreign associate or corporate seeking to lodge a patent in the Asia Pacific; or an Australian business or research institution looking to protect your innovation locally or overseas – our team has the expertise and care to guide you through every stage of the patent process.
