Highly Effective Patent Applications
Our Patent Attorneys create Layers of Protection -
By claiming your invention from multiple perspectives we create contingency positions if one of your claims is invalidated during international examination.Excellence in International Patenting -
Patent examination in US & EU is more stringent than in Australia - our patent attorneys reduce the risk of problems overseas by preparing thorough provisional patent applications from the outset.Pursue The Broadest Possible Coverage -
Our patent attorneys cover the concept behind your product and not just the specific device / software you have developed. Our patent attorneys also cover applications of your device / software across different industries when possible.Thinking Outside the Box -
Our patent attorneys often develop logical extensions to clients' concepts and these are included in their patent application.
Obtaining Value-Added Advice
We Come From Successful R&D Companies -
Uniquely, most of our senior patent attorneys have worked at both large private practice firms and for research & development companies managing international portfolios of patent applications.Collective Experience -
Each patent attorney in our team has between 10 - 25 years of international patenting experience so our patent attorneys prepare patent applications in a manner best suited to international licensing and enforcement.Our Network -
Baxter IP provides advice to clients of all types including individuals and over 10 multinational corporations.

Maximising Returns on Investment and Predictable Costs
-
Only Patent Attorney Firm With Full-Service Commercialisation Consultancy -

Maintaining the Highest Standard of Work
-
Our System Reduce Risk -
Our patent attorneys comply with strict procedural checklists for all aspects of the patent application process. Each of our patent attorneys is also an engineer or scientist so we are highly methodical in our approach to minimising risk at every stage.
