The Australian Innovation Patent was intended to, and did, lower the entry level into patent protection for individuals and SME's - now it will be phased out from 26 August 2021.
For those considering to file for an Australian Innovation Patent by 25 August 2021, the benefits over a standard patent can include:
- lower theshold "innovative step" required (the invention has to be different from what is known before and the difference must makes a substantial contribution to the working of the invention)
- no restriction on the type of claims, i.e. device, method, system etc. (maximum 5)
- same relief options for infringement
(Courts have awarded substantial damages for infringement of innovation patents)

These benefits are at the price of only 8 years maximum term instead of 20 years, however, in many industries 8 years can cover a typical life cycle of a product/process.
