We are more than just patent attorneys. FPA Patent Attorneys provide expert professional and strategic advice from the inception of an idea to the commercialisation and protection of it around the globe. The services we offer are personalised and tailored to our clients’ needs, and as the only Australian patent attorney firm with a strategic relationship with the large, global, full service corporate law firm, Herbert Smith Freehills, we are also able to offer clients access to specialists in related areas of commercial law. This means boutique-style patent services with the certainty of large commercial firm resources.
Every client’s needs are unique. This is why our expertise and understanding of the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors from both a scientific, industry and legal perspective is critical. We understand our clients and their business needs and objectives, and partner with them to guide their business through all of their patent and intellectual property issues, especially when dealing with the sensitivities associated with technologies such as gene patenting and stem cells.
