Our team is in particular well-known for their prompt and proactive service, transparent and no surprise pricing and depth of knowledge and experience.
Our experienced trade marks team guides overseas firms and local clients through the intricacies of trade mark registration, enforcement, and protection in New Zealand and Australia. Trade mark clearance, protection and enforcement matters are at the heart of our practice.
Our team are active in the international intellectual property industry, as members of the Intellectual Property Society of Australia and New Zealand (IPSANZ) and International Trade Mark Association (INTA).
