Enforcing Your IP Rights
Overview
By its nature intellectual property is internationally portable. In the global marketplace, IP rights are increasingly valuable and highly attractive commercially and opportunities for their misuse have increased dramatically.
Whether you own registered IP rights such as patents, trade marks and designs or unregistered rights such as copyright or confidential information, enforcement strategies are available to you if your rights are infringed. The capacity to develop cost-effective strategies to enforce your rights is required. As no two disputes are alike, the strategies and tactics we formulate for enforcing your rights are each unique to the particular circumstances at hand and to your commercial objectives. Due to the often global nature of IP ownership, enforcement suits are regularly conducted by multinational litigation teams. In many cases, we have worked closely with lawyers running similar claims in other countries. Our advice and management of the case has occurred in the context of considering the implications of outcomes in corresponding trials in other jurisdictions. Our ability to provide this strategic litigation advice has been highly beneficial to our multinational client base. Over the years we have forged relationships with the leading IP litigators in jurisdictions worldwide and we regularly call on these networks to enforce our clients' rights.
Our extensive in-house skill base has been crucial in ensuring our understanding of the often complex technical components of each client's case. This is the result of working closely with our patent and trade mark attorneys and gaining great benefit from their technical expertise.
Much of the litigation undertaken of behalf of our IP clients is conducted in the Federal Court of Australia, being the predominant jurisdiction in which IP disputes are resolved. We also have broad experience in State courts, appeal courts and in arbitration and mediation proceedings.
We understand that not all IP disputes are best resolved by the formal judicial process. Our litigators have formal mediation training and are also skilled in domestic and international arbitration proceedings.
