www.ipaustralia.gov.au/patents/what_innovation.shtmlIn May, 2001 a new intellectual property protection option, the innovation patent, is available from IP Australia. It has been designed to provide local industry and small business with a relatively inexpensive patent right which is quick and easy to obtain.
As a Government initiative, the new innovation patent is a flexible and cost-effective patent system that will provide local industry with valuable access to intellectual property rights. The innovation patent is part of IP Australia's efforts to encourage and support local invention and innovation.
To make the innovation patent compatible with the rapidly changing e-commerce environment, applying for the patent can be completed online. Together with modern methods of payment, the new system will offer a much faster and more cost-effective alternative to the current application process.
