Intellectual property
Trade marks, copyright, confidential information and the licences that put them to work.
Intellectual property is usually the part of a business that is hardest to replace and easiest to lose control of. We help clients identify what they own, register and record it properly, license it on terms that hold, and act quickly when someone else starts using it.
We can help with: intellectual property law, trade marks, copyright, brand protection, passing off, licensing, trade secrets.
How we help
Trade marks
Clearance searches, applications, oppositions and enforcement in Australia and through overseas agents.
Copyright
Ownership, moral rights, licensing and infringement claims over written, visual and software works.
Confidential information
Trade secrets, know-how and the agreements and injunctions that keep them contained.
Commercialisation
Licensing, assignment, distribution and franchising arrangements that put IP to work.
Employment and IP
Ownership of work created by employees and contractors, and restraints that survive departure.
Enforcement
Cease and desist correspondence, takedown action and proceedings where infringement continues.
