Global reach
We are registered to practise in Australia and New Zealand, and work with an international network of trade mark and patent attorneys to secure effective intellectual property rights around the globe. Practical experience
Our patent attorneys and trade mark attorneys draw on their experience from a variety of industries including manufacturing, water, power generation, bulk material
handling and construction. This experience shines through in their practical advice without legalese, and in their thoughtful, systematic approach. Our patent attorneys are also experienced mechanical engineers. IP experience
Beyond our practical industry experience, our attorneys have extensive experience in intellectual property, including significant experience with national trade mark and patent firms. We are ideally placed to assist you to obtain your own intellectual property rights, to advise on your competitors' rights and/or resolve an intellectual property dispute. -> More on our experience. Great service
We are easy to work with and tailor our approach to suit our clients' needs and preferences. Our clients include businesses of all sizes, from new start-ups through to multi-nationals, universities and innovative individuals. Regardless of whether you are a time-poor manager who simply needs the answer or a details person interested in the minutiae, you will be impressed by our timely, commercially-focused advice. -> More on our services and our client focus. On time
We understand that it is important to be responsive. We structure our business differently to other intellectual property firms to be as timely as possible. We return telephone calls and acknowledge emails promptly, usually on the same day. Most substantive matters are turned around within a week or so, and we have capacity for a more urgent response when needed. Within budget
We pride ourselves on being upfront about costs, so that our clients have a clear idea of the total cost of an action before we proceed. When project costs depend on uncertain factors, we work hard to give meaningful estimates of the likely costs and potential variations. We take the time to outline not only the costs of immediate actions, but also the costs of any likely further actions in the years to come. -> More on patent costs.
