Our mission is simple: to deliver the highest quality strategic IP advice, in a manner that is easy for clients to understand, and efficient in terms of resources. 

​

This is only achievable by a specialist who is across the complexities involved in IP strategy and technology commercialisation, but still appreciates that the true value of advice comes from cutting through that complexity to offer powerful and practical client solutions.  Clients should not need to understand the nuanced intricacies of IP laws and systems; they want to know that there is a skilled advisor in their corner who can be trusted to identify the best decisions to support their desired outcomes.

​

In Australia, only a handful of Patent Attorneys attended law school, and even fewer are qualified to practice as lawyers.  This often leads to a disjoint in advice: a patent attorney is a technology specialist with a limited grasp of broader legal issues; and the patent attorney defers to a lawyer who typically has a limited grasp of the technology.  This often jeopardises the commercial relevance and effectiveness of IP advice.  With Forward IP, that issue simply does not arise.

 

Our advisory skills are supported by a passion for working with growing businesses, and functioning in the modern entrepreneurial ecosystem.  Forward IP is not driven by shareholder interests; our drive is to work with smart companies and find fulfilment in their success.
