Protect your ideas and investment

Intellectual property protection is available for new ideas or products by means of a patent or a registered design. In addition, protection is available for the trade mark under which you sell your product.

Seeking protection will provide you with a competitive advantage in the market.

By obtaining a registered design and/or a patent, you gain a monopoly right in relation to your design or invention. This monopoly right can be exercised to ensure competitors are kept at bay. It can also be licensed to another in return for a royalty payment.

It is important to note that protection for your new product or idea must occur before any information is made available to others in a non-confidential manner.

By obtaining a trade mark registration, you gain a monopoly right in relation to your trade mark, which can be used to ensure competitors do not adopt a trade mark that is the same as, or deceptively similar to, your trade mark.
