MBIP has once again been announced a winner in the Annual Beaton Client Choice Awards as Best Specialist IP & Related Services Firm (<$20m revenue)! We are elated to share this result, marking our 6th year as winners in this category.

The Client Choice Awards bring us particular pride as the entrants from across Australia & New Zealand are judged and compared based upon a survey completed by our own clients. Participating in this survey also provides us the opportunity to receive feedback and ensure we are still serving current clients to the highest standard and observe areas in which we can improve.

"The team at MBIP's attention to fine detail and clarity of understanding of the technical complexity of some of out patents has been pivotal to our patent grant success. They work closely and quickly with our organisation and we really appreciate this."
