Intellectual Property

What?

Intellectual Property has three main areas as follows:

  1. Copyright: 
    Copyright is not a registered right of ownership of intellectual property however, if you create something, you have a right not to have it copied.
  2. Trademarks:
    This is a registered “mark” that identifies your business, and is registered on ATMOSS.
  3. Patents:
    This is the intellectual property right that protects inventions, that is, how new things actually work.

Why do you need a lawyer?

We are experienced in drafting ‘cease and desist’ letters for infringing conduct, providing advice on and registering trademarks within different industries, ensuring that intellectual property rights are adequately protected within contractual arrangements and giving advice on the requirements of new inventions.

Intellectual property in Australia is highly regulated and is quite a complex area of law. It is important that you engage a lawyer who is across the different types of intellectual property who can adequately protect your rights.

to say…

David Kashan

When it comes to selecting a lawyer, you want someone who cares, someone who can understand your situation and is able to represent you in the best way possible. I could say that’s what I found when I spoke to Maria from HNT Legal and she was with me from the beginning to the end. I have referred her to family and friends and will continue to recommend her moving forward.

Ed Johnson

The team at HNT Legal are consummate professionals. As well as applying their expertise at the highest standard, they fully understand the value of friendly, supportive relationships with their clients. Always an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Chris Formosa

I have been dealing with HNT Legal over the last 2 to 3 years and have to say that they are the most pleasant, knowledgable and what you require from a legal team very thorough, nothing is ever a problem and the most frustrating thing you can have is never have your phone calls returned again they excel always calling back when required. I wanted to send this special mention to the HNT team as again we are very satisfied.

Sam McCarthy

For me Law is about more than cases, arguments, documents or advice.  It’s about how a lawyer understands your unique circumstances, the commercial realities and often complexities that exist, and then applies their expertise to provide truly personalised advice.  Having worked with HNT over the last 4 years I can attest to the fact that HNT cares about people and this is reflected in their advice and outcomes achieved.   

Sheila Cabcungan

My family searched for years to find the right Lawyers we could build a relationship with. We found that with HNT Legal. HNT Legal is firmly planted in Western Sydney, just like us and we’re indebted to the legal advice we’ve received. HNT have helped my family across all aspects of our life from structuring the family business and wealth to advising individual family members in times of crisis. The HNT Legal Team are our wise Legal Counsel and will be for generations to come.

David MacKay

I have been a client of HNT Legal for about 3 years now and can say that each interaction and experience over that time has been treated with professionalism and respect no matter the size or relative ease or complexity the matter has been. I have always been made to feel as though we have a professional relationship not just a client with a transactional request, they truly take the time to get to know my needs and care about the outcomes I am after and have gone above and beyond my expectations. I have never hesitated in recommending HNT Legal and their team to my clients and partners and that will continue.
