Oppositions & Disputes

IP rights can often result in disputes - either from enforcing your rights, or having someone else claiming you are infringing their rights.  These occurrences can have significant impacts on you personally and at times, negative impacts on your operations.

Here at Fisher Adams Kelly we have a team of experienced attorneys who deploy strategies designed to minimise disruption to your business wherever possible, by offering you concise, practical advice to achieve a fast, efficient resolution to your IP disputes, litigation and opposition matters.

Our team can provide you with advice and representation in respect of:

  • Patent and trade mark oppositions
  • Patent, trade mark and design infringement
  • Infringement involving IP such as: confidential information/trade secrets, goodwill and reputation
  • IP ownership disputes
  • Consumer protection legislation compliance – including compliance with the Business Names legislation

A range of solutions to meet your needs

Litigation can be stressful and expensive.  We aim to seek a commercial resolution wherever possible and as quickly as possible, after identifying with you the issues that are your main concerns in a conflict.

Occasionally resolution via these means is not possible and it becomes necessary to follow through with litigation.  We have considerable experience in all relevant jurisdictions and a close association with some of the most experienced IP litigation solicitors and barristers in Australia.

If pursuing a case through trial and appeal is not the best, nor most cost-effective method of resolution for your matter and alternative dispute resolution such as mediation or arbitration is preferable, you can feel confident our attorneys will advise you accordingly and offer you this option.
