Securing your gaming patent in Australia
Have you invented a winning new card game, board game, video game or similar? Seeking to ensure your idea is protected through a patent? If so, IP Guardian is the industry expert you need in your corner.
IP Guardian is a leading patent law firm in Australia with decades of experience protecting its client’s interests.
Pursuing a board game, card or video game patent means you gain legal control over how it is further developed or utilised. The process to do this, however, can be lengthy and more than a little convoluted with many specific criteria to meet.
As dedicated patent attorneys, we’re here to simplify the process and ensure game industry inventors secure the appropriate protection for their ideas.
Learn about patenting a game idea
With our expert guidance, you can find the right protection for you. Learn whether your board game, card game or video game idea can actually be patented and if not, what other avenues of protection are available to you.
Under Australian Intellectual Property Law, design rights or trade marking may be more suitable. At IP Guardian, we are here to help. We are committed to supporting Australian innovators to protect their ideas and profit from their hard work.
We will help you find answers to key questions including:
- Can you patent a game idea?
- What are the costs involved with patenting a game such as a board game?
- What are the limitations in patenting game ideas?
- How to patent a game (board, card or video)?
- How to defend against infringing behaviour?
- and more
