Our Services | Gestalt Law

We assist multinationals, medium and small businesses to develop and execute commercially focused IP strategies

Patents

Patents protect inventions from being copied by providing the patent owner with the exclusive right to exploit an invention. Successful and innovative businesses use patents to protect their investments in research and innovation and to charge a premium for their products and services.

Trademarks

TradeMarks (often called brands) are the marketing interface of your business. TradeMarks are a means of identifying a unique product or service and are therefore a very valuable marketing tool and business asset. Some say brands assist consumers in their selection of goods and services.

Designs

The design of products manufactured in three-dimensions, such as industrial or domestic goods can be protected by a Registered Design. Registered Designs protect how a product looks including features of shape, configuration, pattern or ornamentation.

Enforcement

We are unique as dually qualified as Patent and TradeMarks Attorneys and as Lawyers. We do not simply focus on the registration process and refer you off to lawyers at the first sign of conflict. Rather, we can assist you in enforcing your rights, defending your position and resolving conflict.

Commercialisation

Commercialisation of Intellectual Property rights involves strategies for delivering your products or services into the market place. This depends on a number of factors including existing business capabilities, third party skills and resources, access to finance and channels to market.

IP Management

Gestalt handles the renewal and maintenance of TradeMarks, Patents, Designs and Domain Names in Australia and overseas.Our surveillance system provides security and peace of mind by managing critical deadlines and producing reports on the current status of IP portfolios.

Copyright

There is a general perception that copyright focusses on the arts. Copyright does protect literary works, musical works, artistic works, and dramatic works (and “other subject matter”). However, copyright has well and truly extended beyond artistic endeavour to the industrial sphere.
