FAQS

What is a patent?

A patent is a legally recognised intellectual property right that grants an inventor exclusive control over their invention for a set period, preventing others from making, using, exercising, selling, offering it for sale or importing it without permission.

What is the difference between a Brisbane patent lawyer and a Brisbane patent attorney?

A patent attorney is a specialist in intellectual property law, typically with a science or engineering degree and registered with IP Australia (the Australian patent office), that focuses on preparing, filing and securing patents. They also handle patent defence and enforcement, but do not represent clients in court.

A patent lawyer (or solicitor), on the other hand, is a legal professional, typically with a law degree, who can litigate patent disputes in court but may not have the technical expertise to draft, file and prosecute patents.

Can I secure a patent without professional help?

Yes, you can file a patent yourself, but the process is highly technical and requires a deep understanding of patent law. A patent application should be thought of as a bespoke legal document with different sections for meeting specific requirements set out in law. Without expert guidance, your application may lack necessary legal protections, reducing its enforceability, or resulting in a scope of protection that is so narrow that it is not commercially useful.

To ensure Australian inventors and businesses get the legal support they need, IP Guardian offers transparent pricing and affordable fixed-fee services for patent registration and protection.

Does an Australian issued trade mark protect me overseas?

If we determine that your idea or innovation does not meet the criteria for patentability, other forms of protection under intellectual property law may be possible.

From design rights to trade marks, copyright, plant breeders' rights and more, our team of highly skilled patent attorneys in Brisbane also specialise in these areas and can guide you on next steps.

What if my idea or invention cannot be patented?

No, an Australian patent only protects your innovation within Australia. To secure international protection, you must file separate applications in the countries you want protection in, or use the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) to keep your options to file in overseas countries alive for as long as possible.

If needed, our Brisbane patent attorneys can assist you with international and overseas patent applications to ensure your invention is protected worldwide.
