Hi Geoff, I've used & am currently using http://www.griffithhack.com.au for australian & international patents, trademarks, design protection etc.
you can contact mark.oma...@griffithhack.com.au not to exhaustive on costs, but they do add up. from start to finish it will take years - when you go the US you will most likely find some form of prior art, so to make things worthwhile you really need to have clear idea of what is your unique idea, & be prepared for a couple of continuation iterations (can take 6mths+ each). rgds, - matt On 11 February 2010 14:24, Geoff McQueen - Hiive Systems < geoff.mcqu...@hiivesystems.com> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > > > We’re in the market for some professional IP legal services, and I’d really > appreciate any recommendations or testimonials from the community about who > they’ve used and would recommend. > > > > Specifically, we’re looking for some advice and services surrounding: > > 1. *Trademarks*.
