We can advise you at each stage of the process, from invention (developing your idea), capture (identifying the IP rights in your innovation), evaluation (assessing if your IP rights are worth protecting), protection (filing trade mark, patent and design applications), enforcement (stopping others using your IP and taking action if they do) and commercial opportunities (identifying and negotiating commercial contracts to maximise returns for your IP). Established in 1891, we have a proven track record working with New Zealand’s most innovative organisations. A J Park employs a third of New Zealand’s registered patent attorneys. Dedicated teams specialise in a range of technologies that include biotechnology, chemistry, software and electronics, and mechanical and electrical engineering. We have the experience, size and technical expertise to give you the best intellectual property advice and legal protection.

Our teams facilitate cultural change in our clients' organisations to maximise IP strategies. Our teams are equipped with the technical background and skills to understand your cutting-edge inventions and keep up-to-date with the latest developments.
