Our attorneys hold degrees in electrical engineering and computer science as well as other relevant disciplines, and their significant industry experience gives them a unique perspective when it comes to protecting our client’s intellectual property. We understand the need for companies operating in the ICT, electronics and software industry to maximise the value of IP and achieve commercially acceptable returns on R&D investment.

With the growth and dominance of demand in the Asia-Pacific market for semiconductors, computer hardware, software, electronic components and networking technologies we are well positioned to manage new invention applications in the region. We are proud to work with global innovators in the ICT industry and our team has strong technical backgrounds to support the rapid growth anticipated throughout the region. Our team has considerable experience in securing patent protection for clients in major foreign markets such as the United States and Europe, and we work with large multinational companies, including leading global wireless service providers, handset makers and semiconductor manufacturers offering extensive foreign filing programmes.
