IP protection services
Three ways to protect what makes your business different.
Every idea needs the right form of protection. We explain the options in plain English and build a strategy around where your business is going.
Patents
Protect how your invention works and turn innovation into intellectual property that can be licensed, sold or commercialised.
- Provisional applications
- PCT & overseas filings
- Searching & enforcement
Trade Marks
Protect your trade mark to prevent others from copying your brand and taking advantage of your reputation and goodwill.
- Clearance searches
- Australian applications
- International strategy
Designs
Protect the look of a product, including its three-dimensional shape, configuration, pattern or ornamentation.
- Product appearance
- Registration & certification
- Infringement advice
Our standard of service
Protection is complex. Working with your attorney should not be.
Good IP advice connects legal protection to the commercial reality of your idea: what it is worth, where it will be sold and what you can sensibly invest.
About the practiceClarity
You will have a clear understanding of the legal concepts, application steps and associated costs before decisions are made.
Value
Modern technology and a focused practice dramatically reduce traditional firm overheads, which means less cost to you.
Tackling IP protection costs
Commercially sensible protection, without open-ended legal spend.
Keeping IP protection costs at a sustainable level is essential. We help you understand the whole pathway, not just the first filing.
Lower Costs
Lower practice overheads are passed on to you, including for PCT, overseas patent and trade mark applications.
Cost Certainty
We outline the likely costs, timing and stages from start to finish so you can plan investment with confidence.
Fixed Costs
Our professional charges and known official fees are identified for each stage before work proceeds.
For variable examination work, we provide a likely range and a maximum cost for the agreed scope.
