Patent and Trade Mark Tips for Australian Businesses​

In this webinar, Warren was delighted to chat with Tasmania’s Enterprize community and share his insights on a range of IP issues faced by many businesses, including: 


  • how a small Australian business defines and distinguishes itself on the global stage by protecting its valuable intellectual property;

  • what it takes to secure exclusive trade mark protection;

  • how to pick a good business name and trade mark;

  • how to make sure your trade mark is free to use;

  • why it’s crucial to keep your invention and new products confidential before filing for patent and registered design protection;

  • the benefits (and downsides) of relying on graces period;

  • the importance of securing an early filing date by filing a provisional patent application;

  • when it is advantageous to file a PCT patent application to maintain your internationally pending patent rights; and

  • a cheap and effective way of finding out how patentable your invention is.
