IP Strategy

We also advise clients on patent filing strategies tailored to each client’s business goals and market trajectory, balancing broad protection with cost efficiency.  We assist with obtaining thorough prior art and infringement searches, assess jurisdictional priorities, and utilise appropriate filing strategies to maximise IP value.  We advise clients when to make use of only national filings or filings using various international systems such as the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), the European patent system administered by the European Patent Office (EPO), and the unitary (European Union) patent system and Unitary Patent Court (UPC).

We offer our clients flexibility throughout prosecution, and can tailor the prosecution strategy according to whether, for example, a quick grant is required or if it is preferred to delay, to defer costs, or for other commercial reasons.

By aligning filing timelines with product development and commercialisation plans, we help clients secure robust, enforceable rights that support long-term competitive advantage.
