Intellectual property services

The intellectual property practice contains a legal team with considerable expertise in all fields of registered and unregistered rights, including copyright, trademarks, design rights and patents.

We have advised clients across a range of industries, including information technology, entertainment, manufacturing, importing and distribution. Our advice is commercial and strategic.

We know that intellectual property is a core asset of business today and we assist clients to first develop and then protect and exploit their intellectual property assets. We have experience in the identification, registration and renewal of intellectual property rights and assist clients to prepare, review and negotiate agreements to license, sell and otherwise commercialise and protect intellectual property and confidential information.

We can also assist clients to enforce their intellectual property rights against others, including by acting in court proceedings in relation to copyright and trade mark infringements, domain name recovery, passing-off and other disputes.

We advise on brand protection strategies, pre-registration strategies and searches, lodge and contest oppositions, as well as conduct actions to remove competing registrations.

We know that prevention is better than cure and can assist clients with intellectual property audits, help prepare businesses for sale, assist with the due diligence process and also help a business maintain good house-keeping.

For further information or advice on intellectual property, please contact us or call us for a confidential discussion. We welcome your enquiry.
