Hodgkinson McInnes Patents is more than just a Patent and Trade Mark Attorney firm. We offer high quality advice and assistance in registering and protecting Intellectual Property rights as well as managing IP portfolios in Australia and on a worldwide basis. We also look at the bigger picture by proactively involving ourselves in your business. We act more like a business partner than a supplier.

We pride ourselves on being one of the most progressive firms worldwide. Senior technical expertise and global strategic experience are a must for any firm that is a player in the Intellectual Property field. In this way, our Principals and Professional Staff provide quality work in a variety of technical and legal disciplines required by an international Intellectual Property practice and help our clients navigate through the ever-changing framework of international agreements and treaties.

What differentiates us is that most of our professionals have corporate background experience and so we understand the need for commercially outcome-focused opinions. We have also, over the years, listened to our clients and know the importance placed on a trusted advisor who can provide not only an expert opinion but also a creative one. We provide practical, relevant and technically accurate advice which is the outcome of our years of experience and technical capabilities. We lay great emphasis on the understanding of your needs by listening to you. We have a reputation for being honest enough to tell you that the idea will not work or is impractical.

Our team is comprised of Patent Attorneys, Solicitors and staff that all share in their desire to have a good working relationship with our clients. Everyone plays a vital part in meeting our goal. In this way, we work with reputable foreign attorneys that have been carefully chosen so that they share our philosophy of competence, efficiency and business-orientation. Moreover, sophisticated management systems have been developed to ensure efficient management of clients’ portfolios.

We are happy to discuss cost-effective techniques that will be closer to your commercial reality without hindering adequate legal protection.

We wish to grow with our clients and that is why we place emphasis on good service, anticipating potential problems and resolving conflicts successfully. We want our clients to trust us and be confident that they are in good hands. This is the only way to build a good and confident relationship.

Hodgkinson McInnes Patents is built on the foundation of quality service in everything we do since 1981.
