Fastest growing industry

With the birth of the Internet and the modern computer age, the ICT field is one of remarkable growth and speed of development. With technology being “out-dated” in a very short time from the moment of conception, it is not surprising that these fields of endeavour generate a remarkable number of inventions that find themselves the subject of patent protection.

Technological expertise

Our ICT team is diverse and has a substantial amount of experience in many technical fields within the realms of ICT.

International jurisdictions

A number of our ICT team boast a pedigree from IP Australia, the Australian Patent Office. A number have held positions as examiners of patents, whilst others have held high-level executive positions with the Office. The team therefore provides unmatched insight into the workings of IP Australia, particularly relating to prosecution, opposition and re-examination procedures. A number of our team also have practical experience working in IP firms in the United States.
