Andrew Balis Email & Phone Number

I am a registered Australian patent and trade mark attorney. I am an enthusiastic and results orientated individual. I advise on several areas of local and international intellectual property and specialise in mechanical and aerospace technology.I act for a wide variety of clients, including multinationals, small-medium enterprises and sole traders. I previously acted for one of the world’s largest aerospace companies. I understand that each of these clients have different goals, and I enjoy providing individualised advice to each of them. My goal is to really understand what you want from your intellectual property, and I will make the time to speak with you (whether it be in person, over webchat, over the phone, or via email) so that I can transform your idea to IP potential. I am experienced in prosecuting patent applications in several industries and technology areas. These include: aerospace, automotive, vapour compression systems, mining, medical and consumer products. I have valuable experience in drafting patent applications, providing infringement opinions and clearance advice across various industries. I also have experience in preparing and prosecuting design applications in Australia and internationally, design infringement and validity analysis, and design freedom to operate analysis.I have a Master of Intellectual Property from the University of Technology, Sydney. I also hold a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Aerospace) from the University of New South Wales and completed an industry thesis on the aeroacoustic properties of a CPX road noise trailer in association with the UNSW Aerodynamics Laboratory and an industry wind tunnel facility. Prior to joining the IP profession, I worked in a boutique acoustic engineering firm where I learned firsthand the foundation of good engineering practice, as well as seeing the research and development investment small enterprises make to develop their ideas.

Listed skills include Engineering, Microsoft Office, Catia, Finite Element Analysis, and 8 others.
