The Patenting Process

1. Patent Searches

The first stage to obtain a patent should always be to conduct searches to determine:

whether your invention is novel and inventive
what prior-art might exist in the marketplace that may pose an obstacle to your registration
determine if you are able to use your invention (after filing a patent application) without infringing others
determine the likelihood of obtaining grant of your Patent

2. Patent drafting and obtaining grant (prosecution)

The second stage of patenting is to use a Patent Attorney to draft your patent specification. Using a professional ensures:

the Patent claims are broad enough to capture immitators but not so broad that the Patent is not novel or inventive
the Patent conforms with the strict requirements of the Patents Act
the Patent captures the essence of your invention
objections raised by IP Australia can be easily overcome

3. Commercialisation and enforcement

We assist with:

Patent Litigation
injunctions and infringement advice
licensing agreements for patents
Patent infringement defences
Patent entitlement and invalidity advices
