From the beginning of intellectual property law in Australia, Davies Collison Cave has been protecting innovation. That’s 130 years of history where we’ve been serving our clients with passion and leadership.

On 2 July 1906, it was our own Miss Daisy Williams, who queued overnight to secure Australia’s Trade Mark No. 1 from the Patent Office in Melbourne.

THE IP FACTS OF LIFEIt’s about more than the knowledge of law. The success of your business depends on your attorney having an intimate and detailed understanding of your intellectual property, because you can’t protect what you don’t understand. The attorneys at Davies Collison Cave possess diverse technical skills in areas that include:

– Chemistry and materials– Clean energy – Engineering – Physics and electronics– Information technology – Life sciences – Medical devices – Nanotechnology – Plant innovation.

Enforcement of IP rights typically involves multiple jurisdictions. You want someone who can protect you not just locally— but globally.

Time is of the essence when IP rights are infringed. You must be prepared to act quickly. It will help if your legal team is one step ahead and ready to launch infringement proceedings quickly.

Meticulous attention to detail is the hallmark of a good patent attorney. Every member of our team recognises that failure to pay attention to the smallest of details can be damaging to our clients’ interests.

“ During the 26 years I have been developing technology and filing patents, I’ve experienced several IP firms. The strategic solutions, knowledge and technical expertise of Davies Collison Cave attorneys has consistently impressed me. They are 100% committed, and I trust them—key reasons why we are still with them 8 years down the track.”

– Richard Tamba, Senior Vice President AVL Australia (and Engineers Australia “Entrepreneur of the Year” 2011)
