Design can have a profound
impact on the commercial
success of your product and
business. It makes good
business-sense to legally
protect what may be the
only distinguishing feature.

Searches and watches

At Platform IP we manage every aspect of your design registration process, from fine-tuning and problem solving your initial design, right through to filing, ongoing management and litigation.

A key aspect of our portfolio management service is undertaking crucial searches
and watches so that you can be sure that any conflicting applications or
registrations will be swiftly identified, and that your rights are not being
infringed, or that you are not infringing on the design rights of others. Our highly
efficient and cost-effective in-house searching and watching service delivers
unmatched peace of mind, while removing the time-consuming burden of the
ongoing administration of this task from your hands.

Validity and infringement advice

Our expert design attorneys manage every aspect of your design portfolio, from protection and profit, to staying out of trouble.

We manage your design portfolio to maximise your protection and ongoing commercial viability. We also take care of every element should you run into trouble, either by infringing another’s rights or when a third party infringes yours.

We are deeply experienced in managing every legal aspect and potential outcome
where there has been a possible infringement by you, or by a third party on your
registered design. We act in dispute resolution proceedings and in litigation,
enforcing and defending your design rights. We respond to third party
examination requests, and manage all aspects of the reports that arise from
those requests. We also have deep expertise and experience in acting in hearings
at the Australian Designs Office, including the preparation of complex graphical
and survey evidence.
