Our perspective
Blake Dawson’s Intellectual Property practice offers Australian and international clients a full range of intellectual property services, including:
* Advising on identification, protection and management of patents, trade marks, designs and plant breeders’ rights, and related services such as drafting, filing, prosecution, opposition and strategic portfolio management
* Negotiating and drafting a full range of IP agreements, including agreements regarding commercialisation, research and development, licensing, distribution, franchising, sponsorship, joint venture and international technology transfer
* Advising on copyright, confidential information, passing off and unfair competition
* Enforcing all IP rights, including conducting IP litigation and alternative dispute resolution and developing anti-counterfeiting strategies.
* Advising on marketing, advertising and promotions and on sponsorship and merchandising agreements
* Advising on food, pharmaceutical, therapeutic goods and agricultural and veterinary chemicals regulation.
Blake Dawson’s recent Intellectual Property experience includes:
* World’s first vaccine against cervical cancer - Blake Dawson acted for CSL Limited in the Federal Court of Australia in a dispute concerning the world’s first vaccine against cervical cancer. The dispute was satisfactorily resolved. CSL subsequently successfully applied to the PBAC and federal government to annually vaccinate all Australian females aged 12 and to conduct catch up vaccinations over a two year period.
* Gambro v Fresenius - Blake Dawson acted for Gambro in its long running patent litigation against Fresenius Medical Care relating to haemodialysis systems and disposables in Australia. We represented Gambro in victories on infringement and validity in the Federal Court at first instance and before the Full Court on appeal. We also successfully defended Fresenius’s application for special leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia. Blake Dawson is currently acting for Gambro in the damages phase of the case.
* Conor Med Systems Inc v Angiotech & UBC - Blake Dawson acted for Conor who sought revocation of patents held by Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc and the University of British Columbia over taxol-coated stents in the Federal Court. This was the first case to consider whether the inclusion of an additional patentee, who has no entitlement to the claimed invention, renders the patent liable to be revoked under section 138(3)(a) of the Patents Act 1990.
