IP Registration

In Australia, the management of intellectual property (IP) registration falls under the jurisdiction of the government agency IP Australia. IP Australia oversees the registration of various types of intellectual property rights, including patents, trademarks, designs, and plant breeder’s rights. Through our network partner Noel Kim, an experienced IP lawyer based in Sydney, we offer comprehensive IP registration services to clients seeking to protect their intellectual property assets.

Below is a concise overview of each type of IP registration available in Australia:

1. Patents: Patents safeguard inventions and novel technologies, granting the patent holder exclusive rights to exploit their invention for a specified period commercially. To secure a patent in Australia, applicants must file an application with IP Australia.
2. Trademarks: Trademarks shield brands, logos, and symbols that distinguish goods and services in the marketplace. Registering a trademark with IP Australia affords the owner exclusive rights to use the mark in connection with specific goods and services.
3. Designs: Design registration safeguards the visual appearance or design of a product, encompassing its shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation. Similar to patents and trademarks, design registration is administered by IP Australia.
4. Plant Breeder’s Rights: This form of IP registration protects newly developed plant varieties, granting breeders exclusive rights to produce and commercialize the variety for a designated period. Registration for plant breeder’s rights is also facilitated through IP Australia.

To initiate the registration process for any of these intellectual property rights in Australia, prospective applicants can access detailed information and guidance on the IP Australia website. Our team, in collaboration with our trusted partner Noel Kim, is dedicated to assisting clients through every step of the registration process, ensuring the effective protection of their intellectual property assets.
