PATENTS - GLG Legal Staging

At GLG Legal, we recognise the significance of protecting your intellectual property and turning your innovative ideas into commercial assets. Patents play a pivotal role in fostering innovation, granting inventors exclusive rights to commercialise their creations for a set period. Our experienced team is here to guide you through the complexities of the patent application process, ensuring your invention receives the robust protection it deserves.

What is a Patent?

A patent is a temporary right granted by the State to the inventor of a device, substance, method, or process. This right gives inventors the exclusive ability to exploit their creation commercially, preventing others from replicating or profiting from their invention without permission.

In Australia, patents are categorised into three types:

Standard Patents

Offering long-term protection of up to 20 years (or 25 years for pharmaceuticals).

Innovation Patents

Short-term patents valid for up to 8 years, ideal for innovations with limited commercial lifespans.

Patents of Addition

Covering improvements or modifications to an existing standard patent.
