Patents

Patents offer registered owners the ability to monopolise the subject matter of their patent in the territory of registration for the life of the patent so long as the patent maintains its validity and registration.

Guy & Hinton frequently act for clients in the licensing, and sale and purchase of patents.

We also undertake Federal Court litigation enforcing patents or defending against infringement proceedings. As litigation of this type is highly specialised, we undertake this type of litigation in conjunction with Counsel and prominent patent attorneys operating as expert witnesses.

We do not draft or prosecute patent specifications but should our clients seek the services of a patent attorney for the purpose of drafting of patent specifications and patent prosecution we will refer you to an appropriate patent attorney skilled in the area you wish to address.
