We are experts in the protection of intellectual property and we work with our clients to create strategies with high commercial impact. Our clients trust us to examine their organisation’s strategy and vision, as well as to help realise it. Founded over 60 years ago, we are Australia’s largest independent intellectual property firm. Intellectual property is our sole focus, which ensures the best possible development and protection for our clients' intellectual property. Our advice encompasses legal, technical and strategic and is focused on biotechnology, chemistry, engineering, medical technology, pharmaceuticals, software and information technology and trade marks. We provide coverage across all aspects of intellectual property prosecution practice. At FB Rice we work with a broad range of clients, who, despite their varied specialties have one thing in common: the need for excellent advice for managing their intellectual property. We work with universities and research institutes, organisations that are under pressure to commercialise their research. At a corporate level our client base includes both local and international organisations, maximising their investment in R&D in fast moving consumer goods, communications technology and resources. At every point of the process of protecting our clients' intellectual property, we seek to thoroughly understand their commercial environments and work with them to ensure that we protect the value of their intangible assets.
