Copyright Consult, quick and stress-free

When you have an idea or thought (especially in a business context), you want to own that IP and ensure that no one else uses it. Once that thought or idea is expressed in some material form, it is automatically protected by copyright. This means that you officially own it and if someone else tries to use it, this will be copyright infringement.

In Australia, you don’t need to register copyright. However, it is common business practice to use copyright disclaimers or an IP Licence to manage their IP. So, it’s important to speak to a lawyer about how you can approach this depending on your business’ needs.

Yes, there are many ways you can protect your business’ intellectual property. Copyright is one of the main ones, however you may also choose to register a trade mark for that extra level of protection.

For example, if you’ve designed a logo and want to ensure that no one else uses it, you’d need to register that logo as a trade mark with IP Australia. If someone tries to use it, it can be legally enforced.
