There’s a lot more to food and beverage innovation than a new flavour, a clever label or a catchy brand name.

Have you also thought about the way a product is made, preserved, packaged, monitored, dispensed or delivered, and how these unique features may need some protection?
And that’s where we can play an important role, helping you identify and protect what’s important to your business.

As the intellectual property partner of choice for some of Australia’s most prestigious food, w**e and beverage producers, our strength lies in the breadth and depth of our expertise across trade marks, designs, plant breeder’s rights and patents.

When you have a great idea, you want to protect it.

And having not only an expert in patent and trademark law, but also one who understands the industry you're in, makes all the difference.

That was the case with Adelaide University, which found a new and innovative way to process olives – an extremely scientific process that otherwise would be difficult to explain to someone who wasn’t knowledgeable in the field.

When your patent attorney truly understands the science behind an innovation, the conversation goes beyond simply translating technical concepts. They can ask the right questions, identify opportunities that might otherwise be overlooked, and help realise the full value of an idea.

See some highlights of how the right expertise helped turn scientific innovation into valuable intellectual property, or view the full case study on our website: https://madderns.com.au/about/.

If you own a US trade mark registration, did you know that you’ll need to periodically file proof that you’re still using the mark in the US?

If you don’t, your registration will be cancelled.

There is no such requirement in Australia, where you can renew your trade mark registration simply by paying the relevant renewal fees.

It’s Guide Dogs Day, and Mark O'Donnell has been at Hughes PR enjoying a fundraising morning tea and meeting other businesses.

Did we mention that an Ambassadog and a Facility Dog dropped in with their handlers, to meet everyone and thank them for supporting the cause?

Mark met Ta**us and Scout while hearing about the great work Guide Dogs Australia SA/NT undertakes to support people living with blindness or a visual impairment.
