Trusted Legal Advice in Copyright and Intellectual Property Law on the Sunshine Coast

Intellectual Property (IP) is a term used to describe a bundle of intangible rights designed to protect the outcome of intellectual activity, endeavour or innovation.

It includes copyright, trademarks, patents, designs, circuit layouts, business names, plant breeder’s rights, confidential information and in some cases reputational issues.  Different laws apply to different forms of IP, however the goal is always the same – to grant protections to any party who creates these rights, who comes to own them, or who acquires the right to use them.  The legal services needed when IP issues arise varies.  They generally include services connected with:

• the registration and protection of IP (e.g. trademark or patent registration);
• commercialisation (e.g. joint venture and collaborative agreements, research and development agreements, funding agreements, licences and distribution agreements); or
• infringement (e.g. cease and desist letters, dispute resolution or litigation).
