Beyond Dawlish

The Australian Patent Office, operated by IP Australia, is the national authority responsible for administering the patent system in Australia. It plays a critical role in helping inventors secure legal protection for their innovations, encouraging innovation and commercial development.

Examination and Granting of Patents

One of the primary responsibilities of the Patent Office is examining patent applications with Patent Process Australia. This includes reviewing the claims, descriptions, and drawings to ensure the invention meets the legal criteria of novelty, inventive step, and usefulness.

Maintaining the Patent Register

The office maintains an official register of patents which is accessible to the public. This register provides transparency and helps prevent the duplication of inventions.
