We are upgrading our online services platform to provide a more modern, intuitive and streamlined digital experience.

As part of IP Australia’s Indigenous Knowledge Work Plan 2020-21, and in preparation for next year’s consultations, we’ve published two new research papers by Terri Janke and Company.

We are improving the experience for our customers filing new design right applications.

As part of their digital service offering, Austrade have worked with their partners to develop Free Trade Advantage. This online platform brings together practical advice and resources to help businesses understand Australia’s free trade agreements (FTA), and help new and experienced exporters to navigate the FTA process. 

IP Australia is proud to be a customer focused agency committed to continual improvement initiatives.

Protecting intellectual property (IP) assets before you enter new markets can strengthen your business' competitive advantage and significantly reduce the risk of IP breaches. The study into the experience of Australian firms enforcing their IP rights in Asia, run by the Export Council of Australia, is now available.

At IP Australia, our aim is to help businesses grow and prosper through the delivery of timely and robust IP rights. We’re committed to continually improving our services, and throughout 2020, we’ve implemented a range of initiatives to improve the quality and consistency of our searches and examinations.

We heard what you had to say in our latest Customer Satisfaction Survey and in response we are making some changes to our patent examination reports.

The replacement of eServices is now well underway with our new platform for online services now available to all customers!

The misuse of Indigenous Knowledge including art, culture, language or adopting a similar style is offensive to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It can undermine cultural practices and affect the economic opportunities available for authentic products.
