What is IP Australia?
IP Australia is the Australian Government agency responsible for administering patents, trade marks, designs and plant breeder’s rights.
By granting these rights, and contributing to the improvement of Australian and international IP systems, IP Australia is supporting Australia's economic development.
IP Australia incorporates the Patent,
Designs, Trade
Marks and Plant Breeder’s Rights (PBR) Offices.
It is a prescribed agency within the Department
of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research (DIISR) but operates independently
and reports directly to the Minister.
Helping Australian business to prosper
By encouraging increased innovation, investment and trade through the effective use of IP, IP Australia is making it possible for Australian businesses to establish and maintain globally competitive positions.
As well as providing direct services to users, IP Australia has formed many strategic relationships to help Australians benefit from their IP.
IP Australia's customers now recognise that IP protection is integral to business
planning, marketing strategy planning and product and/or service development.
