Boutique firm IP Gateway in Brisbane comprises a small but dedicated team of attorneys who specialise in patents, trade marks and designs. The firm protects industrial designs, handles restorations as well as provides opinions and analyses for a respectable list of domestic clients.
The group filed national phase entries to protect the Myofunctional Research Corporation's orthodontic appliance used to treat a class 3 malocclusion and is helping the client establish an in-house IP department. The outfit further assisted Parle Biscuits in successfully removing a trade mark registration by an ex-distributor, which had interfered with the client's commercial operations in Australia.
One client who has been using Wayne Slater for more than five years shares his satisfaction with the firm's principal. "He is a gentleman. The good thing that I like about him is if he's not sure about something, he double checks. He writes his papers very thoroughly and has a good understanding of what we're trying to protect. His attention to detail is excellent."
