A number of our professional staff hold PhDs and several have benefited from post-doctoral research tenures at universities in the United Kingdom and United States. This gives our clients the assurance that their technology is fully understood, and the confidence that their patent attorney has an excellent knowledge of worldwide developments in their specific field.

Our expert trade mark, litigation and patent teams have significantly contributed to the development of intellectual property laws in New Zealand.
