We provide precise, commercially-minded IP advice, from first registration to international portfolio management and enforcement — for clients across all industries.
We advise on every category of intellectual property, from first registration through to commercialisation, international filing, and enforcement before the Federal Court.
A registered trade mark gives you exclusive rights to use your brand name, logo, or slogan in Australia. We conduct clearance searches, prepare and file applications with IP Australia, manage examination, and handle oppositions and cancellations.
Copyright protects original literary, artistic, musical, and software works automatically in Australia. We advise on ownership, licensing, moral rights, infringement claims, and the complex questions arising around AI-generated content and digital media.
We manage patent applications in Australia and internationally. Our practice covers provisional and complete applications with IP Australia, international applications under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) and priority claims filed through the Paris Convention, allowing you to preserve your Australian priority date when filing in over 170 countries within 12 months of your original application.
Registered designs protect the visual appearance of a product — its shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation. We file and certify registered designs with IP Australia and advise on the interaction between design rights and copyright.
We draft and negotiate IP licences, technology transfer agreements, franchise arrangements, and co-development agreements — structuring terms that protect your ownership while maximising commercial return from your intellectual property.
When someone infringes your IP, or when you face an allegation, you need experienced representation. We issue cease and desist correspondence, file takedown notices, and appear before the Federal Court and IP Australia in contested proceedings.
We advise on .au domain disputes through auDA, file UDRP complaints for international domains, pursue platform takedown notices across online marketplaces and social media, and advise on IP considerations in digital and AI contexts.
Trade secrets, proprietary processes, and commercial know-how are protected through well-drafted confidentiality agreements, employment restraints, and information security frameworks, and enforced through the courts when breached.
