What intellectual property protections does my business need?
This depends on your business. Most businesses benefit from trademark registration for their brand name and logo, confidentiality agreements for proprietary information, and IP assignment clauses in employment and contractor contracts. We assess your specific situation and recommend a tailored IP protection strategy.
How long does trademark registration take in Australia?
A standard trademark application through IP Australia typically takes 7–8 months if there are no objections or oppositions. We manage the process from search through to registration, addressing any examiner objections or third-party oppositions along the way.
What is the difference between a trademark, patent, and copyright?
Trademarks protect brand identifiers like names, logos, and slogans. Patents protect new inventions, products, or processes. Copyright automatically protects original creative works like writing, music, and software code. Each has different registration requirements, duration, and enforcement mechanisms.
Can you help if someone is infringing my intellectual property?
Yes. We handle IP enforcement through cease and desist letters, negotiation, mediation, and court proceedings. We also assist with takedown requests on digital platforms and customs seizure notices for counterfeit goods entering Australia.
Do I need a licensing agreement to let others use my brand or IP?
Yes. Without a formal licensing agreement, you risk losing control over how your IP is used, diluting your brand, and creating ambiguity about ownership. We draft licensing agreements that define usage rights, quality standards, royalties, and termination conditions.
