Securing your manufacturing patent in Australia
Have you or your business developed a new manufacturing process that improves the process or its product outcomes? If so, this new or different step could be the basis for a patent.
Manufacturing is a competitive industry and to remain at the top of the game it’s vital to protect your processes and the value of your final product. This means you retain control of how your process or product is used and ensures no one else has the right to profit from your development.
The best way to do this is by securing a patent. Not only does this offer protection, but it also gives you legal rights to defend against infringing behaviour. If you are keen to pursue a manufacturing patent but have no idea where to begin, the best place to start is with a patent attorney.
At IP Guardian, we have decades of experience protecting client interests and successfully securing manufacturing patents.
Learn how to patent a manufacturing process
Not all manufacturing processes can be patented. They must meet strict criteria including having a new or inventive step that improves the process or the product being manufactured.
To ensure your process qualifies for a patent our team carefully reviews your innovation with you. We can also check that it does not infringe on an existing patent or manufacture a patented product.
If it may not meet the necessary criteria for a patent, we will review alternative options for protection with you. With our expert guidance, you can gain a better understanding of:
- Patent checks and how to perform them
- Patent definitions and what can be patented in manufacturing
- How long manufacturing patents last for
- Costs associated with securing a manufacturing patent
- How to defend against infringing behaviour and more
