As the owner of valuable intellectual property (IP), you have rights that govern how this property can be used.
Known as IP Rights, the relevant legislation protects you against unauthorised use, reproduction, distribution or sale of your IP. It also allows you to legally defend yourself against infringing behaviour.
IP is recognised as being a valuable asset. IP rights provide the creator with the time, opportunity and framework through which they can commercialise their ideas.
The ability of an original manufacturer to enforce IP rights also ensures that consumers can enjoy genuine products made to high quality and safety standards.
Without IP rights or the capacity to enforce these, IP could be easily stolen and used in any capacity regardless of the owner's preferences.
This is not only damaging to the creator but can also have a detrimental effect on our economy.
The sale of counterfeit goods and pirated digital materials among other types of IP theft, account for billions of dollars lost to our economy each year.
Australian IP Rights support a healthy and thriving economy. They are designed to encourage innovation and protect businesses that develop IP.
This allows businesses to gain a competitive advantage through continued innovation while also helping create more jobs with higher salaries. It also encourages the international export of new innovations for even greater economic gains.
For support in understanding your IP rights and how to enforce them, it is recommended to speak with a qualified IP attorney.
I found them online and initially I was bit hesitant to talk to them about my problem but when I spoke to Barry, I felt more comfortable, and he gave me all the information and advice I wanted without even thinking that I am going to give him business or not. Finally, I went with them, and they made the entire process so smooth and easy for me. john was keeping us updated with each step he was doing. I would recommend these guys for any patent or trademark related service.
I would like to express my thanks to Barry and his team at IP Guardian in Sydney for their assistance with our recent Trademark application. Barry was highly professional, readily available throughout the process and clearly communicated expectations. Barry even helped us refine our application so that we had a greater chance of success which was very much appreciated to avoid extra costs. I would highly recommend Ip Guardian for all your Trademark and Intellectual Property needs.
Barry, last week, you and your professional team, made my year (or probably my next 21 years). So thank you so much for your executive, calm yet very effective actions under extream pressure. Elias Hajjar, Director, TROLLEYON PTY LTD
Informative, understood the business, what it needed and answered questions in a friendly and approachable manner. Easy decision to continue working with IPGuardian for future trademarking
From the day I contacted Barry Meskin until now with my silly amateur questions, he has been nothing short of amazing. I actually NEVER leave reviews anywhere, but I felt the need to do so for Barry and his team. I myself am a tradie, so I felt intimidated speaking to an attorney. But the second I spoke to him on the phone, he made me feel right at home. Never pressured me into any decisions, yet when I decided to go ahead with him, he delivered what I needed much quicker than what I was expecting. I cannot speak highly enough of him and recommend his services 100%.
The team at IP Guardian have made the process extremely straight forward and easy for us to understand exactly what was required. I will highly recommend to our clients who need help with IP.
I have dealt with Barry over the years, his advice and experience has helped me greatly. Looking for to working with him and his team again. Maher.
