  • Own valuable intellectual property (IP) such as patents or trademarks?
  • Developed valuable systems or software?
  • Have valuable business “know how” or trade secrets?

These can be substantial business assets. Often, more valuable than the tangible assets of a business. Commercialising your IP or systems, programs or know how involves dealing with third parties such as agents, distributors or customers. When doing so, they must be protected from unlawful or unauthorised use.

Expectations and key risks are often addressed in IP licences or other similar agreements.

For assistance with such agreements, call Joe Kafrouni on (07) 3354 8888 to discuss your opportunity and how our business lawyers can help.

Consultation

For new clients, I offer a paid initial phone consultation for $1,430 (incl. GST), which covers up to two hours of my time.

This option provides a relatively low-risk way for us to discuss your situation and explore how I may be able to help. I will provide initial advice and direction where possible. However, most matters require more than two hours to complete; if that’s the case, I’ll provide a follow-up proposal outlining how I'm able to help and an estimate of legal fees.

I set aside only a limited number of consultation times. If you can’t find a suitable time, or would like to clarify anything before booking, please get in touch — I’ll do my best to accommodate you.
