Our Litigation Services
Intellectual property is a significant asset in business and our aim is to achieve the best possible commercial result for our clients. In litigious matters, this could mean adopting a robust and aggressive style or, alternatively, a conciliatory stance to achieve a commercially desirable settlement.
Our litigation work includes court proceedings to restrain and/or defend actions for:
- the infringement of trade marks, copyrights, domain names, patents or designs
- breaches of Parts IV and V of the Trade Practices Act 1974 such as misleading or deceptive conduct where others have adopted similar trade marks, products, or packaging
- breaches of confidence or disclosure of trade secrets
- challenging the validity of monopoly rights to enable clients to manufacture and sell products or use trade marks that they would otherwise be prevented from selling or using
