Intellectual Property Lawyers
Protecting, commercialising and enforcing the assets that define your competitive edge.
Your ideas, designs, and creations define your business — they’re the foundation of your competitive advantage. At EAGLEGATE, we help Australian and international companies protect, commercialise, and enforce intellectual property (IP) so that innovation remains an asset, not a risk.
Our IP lawyers act in trade mark, copyright, design, and patent matters — from registration of trade marks and designs, to strategy and commercialisation to enforcement and dispute resolution. We also work with technology, engineering, and creative professionals to safeguard ownership, prevent infringement, and structure IP rights to generate long-term value.
EAGLEGATE combines deep legal expertise with real-world technical knowledge, giving you confidence that your ideas are protected and your IP strategy aligns with your commercial goals.
