Superseded non-legislative instruments

As we undertake reviews, some instruments will be repealed or amended as we undertake reviews of non-legislative instruments.

Legislative changes and reviews

The Intellectual Property Laws Amendment (Productivity Commission Response Part 1 and Other Measures) Act 2018 moves a number of filing, formality and fee paying requirements to non-legislative instruments.

As we continually undertake reviews of the non-legislative instruments to adopt more efficient processes as they become available, some instruments will be repealed or amended.

You can find superseded instruments for each IP right in the following sections.
