Intellectual Property

We understand the value of ideas.

Intellectual property is about more than owning a trade mark, copyright material, patent or registered design.  It can be the most valuable property a business possesses, an integral part of a business’ goodwill, but because it is intangible it can also be the easiest property to lose, damage or mismanage.

At J.A. Fillmore & Co, we can help you realise the value of your intellectual property and to protect it from infringement.  We can also advise you on avoiding infringement on the intellectual property of others, a growing pitfall for businesses in a time when copyright and trade marked material is so readily available and easy to copy.

Because of our Business Law expertise, we can give you Intellectual Property advice with a view to where it fits within the overall framework of your business.  Where appropriate, we can also give you advice on how best to use and protect your Intellectual Property overseas as well as within Australia, and on the internet.
