Associated with Freehills' intellectual property practice, Freehills Patent & Trade Mark Attorneys specialise in the creation, acquisition and commercialisation of intellectual property rights, including patents, trade marks and designs. Our aim is to ensure that you gain practical, cost-effective advice and the strategic input necessary to protect and maintain your assets.
Innovative ideas can be immensely valuable. Commercialising them is often the result of long-term research, development and investment. Yet in today's highly competitive environment, these valuable assets are increasingly under threat. Unless protected, they are vulnerable to appropriation. Successful businesses recognise the value of intellectual property. To many, it is their principal asset.
We have particular experience and technical expertise in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, chemistry and materials sciences, designs, engineering and physics, information and communication services and trade marks.
Drawing on a national and international network, we manage the intellectual property portfolios of a diverse range of clients. Our client base ranges from individual inventor applicants through to major domestic and foreign corporations and spans many industries and technologies.
With the combined resources of Freehills Patent & Trade Mark Attorneys and Freehills' intellectual property practice we offer the expertise of 25 partners and the support of almost 50 solicitors, patent and trade mark attorneys. This combination is unlike that of any other firm in Australia, enabling us to provide to clients full intellectual property services in all technologies.
Our name, Freehills Patent & Trade Mark Attorneys, reflects the expertise we provide our clients and our close affiliation with Freehills, one of Australia's leading top-tier law firms and its award-winning Intellectual Property group.
