Intellectual Property

Your intellectual property (IP) is a valuable business asset. In fact for some businesses, especially start ups, IP can be your primary asset. That’s why it’s so important you take steps to protect it.

​

We can help you identify your IP, including assets that you might be unaware of. From there we can register and protect your IP, and enforce or recover your IP if necessary.

​

If you are expanding your operations, looking to import into Australia, or considering exporting your product outside Australia, we can advise you on international IP law to minimise risk and maximise commercial benefit.

​

We can draft and review licence and assignment agreements on your behalf. We can also help you consider related rights, such as the use of confidential information, so that your business is fully protected.

​

Intellectual property can also be subject to various challenges. If you’re involved in a dispute relating to a copyright, trade mark or design matter, we can provide advice, negotiate and work with all parties to achieve a commercial resolution. We have successfully represented many clients in relation to matters including passing off claims, misleading and deceptive conduct, trademarks and copyright.
