Our Services

We provide a range of services in the field of Intellectual Property

Patents

A patent can provide protection for a physical product or technical method which is both new and inventive.

We provide advice on whether your invention may be patentable, as well as preparing and filing patent applications and assisting with prosecution of the applications before the Australian Patent Office and Patent Offices overseas.

Trade Marks

A trade mark is any sign used to distinguish products of one trader from those of another, including company and business names, logos and slogans.

We provide advice on the best approach to protect your trade marks via appropriate trade mark registrations and proper use within your business.

Design Registration

A registered design is a monopoly granted in relation the visual appearance of the product. A registered design therefore protects the way a product looks, rather than the way it works.

We can provide advice on whether design registration is appropriate for your new product and assist with filing and prosecution of applications to register designs.

We can assist with International patent and trade mark filings and direct national filings through our network of carefully selected associate firms.
