Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re after more personalised advice, get in touch with our team.

Why should I register my intellectual property?

Registering IP gives you exclusive rights to use, licence and enforce your innovation or brand. It enhances your competitive position, strengthens business value, and provides legal tools to prevent unauthorised use of your assets.

Can you assist with international IP protection?

Yes. MBIP facilitates filings and representation across key global markets, including the USA, Europe, and Asia to ensure your rights are preserved.

When is the right time to seek intellectual property advice?

As early as possible, particularly before publicly disclosing an invention, launching a brand, or releasing a product design. Early guidance helps identify what can be protected and ensure your IP strategy supports your objectives.

Can MBIP assist with existing IP assets?

Absolutely. Whether you already own registered IP or have applications in progress, we can help with management, enforcement, oppositions, portfolio reviews and strategic advice. Our firm can assist IP owners with their renewals in Australia and New Zealand. We have a network of trusted international advisors enabling us to renew patents and trade marks outside of Australia and NZ for our clients.
