If you have any questions about patent attorneys and intellectual property law, we have compiled a list of common questions and answers for your convenience. Patent attorneys are qualified and trained in laws relating to intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, registered designs, and plant breeder's rights. They are also familiar with laws relating to copyright, confidential information, and trade practices.

While we are sometimes referred to as a 'Patent Law Firm' or 'Patent Lawyer,' technically speaking, we are not lawyers. We are specifically registered as a patent and trademark attorney firm, and our job titles are 'Patent Attorney' and 'Trademark Attorney.' A trademark attorney has similar expertise in filing and prosecuting trademarks.

It's important to note that patent attorneys do not litigate in court, although they may be involved in court proceedings related to IP rights. Registered patent attorneys are bound by strict obligations to act in their clients' best interests and preserve the confidentiality of client information.

When working with a registered Australian patent attorney, you can disclose details of your invention, knowing that there is an obligation for the attorney not to misuse this information. Professional privilege also protects communications between Australian patent attorneys and their clients.

Drafting and filing a patent application is a complex task, and it is common for critical errors to occur when non-attorneys attempt to do it themselves. A granted patent provides you with exclusive rights in relation to the commercial use of your invention, allowing you to prevent competitors from selling your technology and potentially increasing your pricing and sales volume. Additionally, having a patent application filed can provide substantial advantages for negotiations with investors or commercial partners.

While it may be tempting to handle patent protection alone to minimize expenses, this can ultimately be a costly mistake. It is far better to seek assistance from a registered patent attorney who has the expertise and knowledge to handle the complexities of patent law.

If you have any general inquiries or need assistance with patent protection, plant variety rights, trademarks, registered designs, or any other IP-related matters, please feel free to reach out to us. Your form submission will not be successful if you leave the field empty.
