Patent Lawyers Melbourne

Are you a Melbourne inventor and looking for an experienced Patent Lawyer to protect your idea, invention or concept?

Then look no further than Australian Patent and Trademark Services.

What are the costs of lodging a Patent Application?

The typical costs are $9,000+GST for a patent application providing global protection for one year at Australian Patent and Trademark Services. After this, there are further costs to extend protection in each country that is elected by you.

However, by the one year stage you’d hopefully:

1. Be making substantial remuneration to pay costs for the patent protection process,
2. have a business partner on board, 
3. be licensing the concept out (passive income), or
4. have sold the patent.

The Provisional Patent Application is not published for 18 months, and provides a legal date of inventive rights, without disclosing your idea.

How do you apply for a Patent?

For patents in Australia, it is the first person to lodge the patent application who obtains the legal rights. Not all other countries pursue the granting of patent rights in this way.
