Securing a patent in Australia grants you exclusive rights to your invention, protecting it from unauthorized use.
Here’s how Australian residents can file a trademark application:
Long-term protection for up to 20 years.
Short-term protection for up to eight years.
The right patent type depends on your invention's uniqueness. Start with an Australian patent search to determine its patentability, then proceed with the application.
Key Patentability Requirements
Novelty
The invention must be new and not publicly disclosed.
Innovation Patent
Short-term protection for up to eight years.
Inventiveness
It should differ significantly from existing technology and not be obvious.
Suitable Subject Matter
It must qualify as a "manner of manufacture," excluding items like scientific theories or medical treatments.
Submit your application to IP Australia for examination. If approved, your invention is published, granting you IP protection. For the best outcome, consult a qualified patent attorney or patent agent in Australia to navigate the Australian patent registration process effectively.
To file a patent in Australia, your invention must be novel, useful, and involve an inventive step. It must also qualify as patentable subject matter, excluding discoveries, scientific theories, or medical treatments.
The approval process typically takes 12 to 18 months. However, it can be expedited for an additional fee.
Standard patents last up to 20 years, while pharmaceutical patents last up to 25 years, subject to annual renewal fees.
Annual renewal fees are required to maintain patent protection. These fees increase over time, and failure to pay may result in the patent lapsing.
Brealant streamlines the patent process by offering expert guidance and filing requests for expedited examination, helping you fast-track your application efficiently.
