Intellectual Property (IP) is an umbrella term which refers to the property of your mind or intellect and may be protected at law in the same manner as any other form of property.

Applications for protection of IP rights are made to IP Australia which is an Australian Government agency responsible for administering IP rights.

We recognise that with the ever increasing pressure to develop a business in a modern and competitive, digital based marketplace many clients overlook the significance of protecting the very information, logo, idea or other intangibles that consumers identify as your business.

The benefits of protecting IP include establishing rights to protect the property of your mind or intellect, which becomes personal property and may be sold or authorisation may be given to other people to use the IP.

Our lawyers have particular expertise in trade mark applications and plant breeder’s rights and we will endeavour to demystify IP and provide you with relevant advice on how to afford the most comprehensive legal protection available to you. We can assist with registering or protecting your IP rights or refer you to associated experts who can help you.
