Patents

Trade Marks

Industrial Designs

Patents protect inventions by providing a monopoly for up to twenty years in return for a disclosure of the invention to the public. A patent can provide protection for a broad inventive concept or a narrow technological advance. The protection is a valuable business asset and an important commercial tool.

Corporate identity, a company's brand names or logos can be the most valuable marketing tool that it owns. Registration of a trade mark protects this important business asset, giving the proprietor the legal remedy to prevent others from using the same or similar mark and protecting your legitimate service industry or manufacturing base.

Registered designs protect the outward appearance of a product, rather than how it works. Design registrations are a cost effective way of obtaining protection for new consumer products. Designs can be registered for many products, for example , handsets, toys, tools, dispensers, cameras, office equipment, bathroom equipment, torches and consumer products.
