Intellectual Property Lawyers & Trademarks

A trade mark is generally a distinguishing symbol that a person or business uses to differentiate their goods or services.

However, trade marks include not only words and logos, but scents, shapes and sounds.

They are an important asset of any business activity. Without the protection of trade marks and measures to hinder product imitations, consumers would be unable to know whether a purchase is the ‘real deal.’

The registration of your trade mark entitles you to exclusive rights to use that mark to characterise your goods or services.

Sunshine Coast intellectual property lawyers can identify any unregistered trade marks within your business and apply for registration of those marks in Australia and around the world.

Sunshine Coast intellectual property lawyers can also enforce your rights where your trade mark has been infringed, or can provide advice if you have been accused of infringing a trade mark.

Intellectual Property Lawyers & Patents

A patent is a government-issued license to exploit an invention to the exclusion of others.

An expertly drafted patent can be a company’s most valuable asset.

As patents are required to be novel and innovative, it is imperative to file a patent prior to publicly disclosing the invention or otherwise sharing your idea.

Sunshine Coast intellectual property lawyers can help protect your invention by advising whether the invention is able to be patented and working through the process of registering the patent for you.

Likewise, they can provide expert advice if you wish to license a pre-existing patent, or if you believe your patent has been infringed by another party.

Alternatively, an experienced intellectual property lawyer on the Sunshine Coast is able to advise whether any existing or anticipated business activities infringe upon pre-registered patents or provide advice in the event that you are sued for breach of patent.

Intellectual Property Lawyers & Copyright

Thus, copyright can be distinguished as it protects the manifestations of ideas rather than the ideas themselves.

Examples of creations that are subject to copyright are drawings, paintings, novels, plays, poems, and films.

These creations are commonly referred to as ‘works.’ Registration of copyright is not necessary as copyright applies automatically to works upon their creation.

However, it is important to be aware of your rights and the protection afforded to your works under the law, prior to creating or publishing any works.

A breach of copyright should be taken seriously. The faster an infringement of copyright is put on notice, the quicker and easier it is to prevent them from further infringing upon your legal rights.

Additionally, the act of putting an infringement on notice of your rights to copyright, may facilitate a claim for damages for the infringement.

A Sunshine Coast intellectual property lawyer can advise you of your legal rights over existing work. Likewise, they can also advise you if you have been accused of copyright infringement.
