Patent Attorney Services Brisbane
Protecting your invention with a patent is a critical first step to successful commercialisation.
A patent grants the holder an exclusive right to make, use, or offer for sale an invention for a certain period of time. In order to obtain a patent, you must file a patent application with the appropriate government agency. The application must include a description of the invention, as well as claims that define the scope of the patent.
What is a Patent Attorney?
Patent attorneys
Patent attorneys are professionals who specialise in helping inventors obtain patents. They can help you navigate the complex patent application process, and they can also advise you in case your patent is infringed or challenged.

Patent Searches
Prior to filing for a patent, it is critical to conduct a search of existing patents and patent applications. This will help you to determine whether your invention is novel, and it will also help you to craft claims that are likely to be granted. Our team of experienced patent searchers can help you conduct a thorough search of the prior art.
Mediation and Arbitration
If you are involved in a dispute with another party over patent rights, we can help you to resolve the matter through mediation or arbitration. This process is often quicker and less expensive than going to court and can help you avoid a lengthy and costly legal battle.

Paperwork. Guidelines. Red tape. No one likes it, but it's a necessary evil when filing patent applications. We're here to help take the stress off your shoulders by handling all of the paperwork for you. We know how to patent a design to maximise the chances of it being granted, and we'll make sure that everything is in order before we submit it.
Freedom to Operate Search
Before you launch your product or service, it is important to make sure that you will not be infringing on any existing patents. A freedom to operate search is a comprehensive search of the prior art that will identify any patents or patent applications that could potentially block you from entering the market. Our team can help you conduct a freedom to operate search, and we can also provide you with advice on how to avoid infringement.
Preparing Opposition Proceedings
If you patent, there is always the possibility that someone will challenge it. If this happens, you will need to be prepared to defend your patent in opposition proceedings. Our team of experienced attorneys can help you prepare for these proceedings, and we will be there to represent you every step of the way.
