Hi Ben, I've just recently joined this group.
IP lawyers are the people usually responsible for handling litigation matters (however, they may also enrol the services of a barrister). An IP lawyer is different to a Patent Attorney (I am a Patent Attorney) who provides advice on how to protect your IP. The patent law limits the acts that a Patent Attorney can perform in relation to court proceedings, but we are able to act for a client in front of IP Australia. There are however a handful of patent attorneys who are also IP lawyers. Many IP lawyers specialise in specific matters, such as contractual breaches, trade mark infringement, patent infringement, copyright infringement etc. Therefore, it is recommended that you find someone suited to your specific requirements.
