As a modern progressive legal firm MBT Lawyers are constantly entering into new fields of law. In 1999, MBT Lawyers created the Intellectual Property Group to service our clients and prospective clients needs in this area.

Within the past few years, Intellectual Property Law has been increasingly recognised as being imperative to any professional organisation wishing to protect what may be their most valuable assets. These valued assets may include;

• industrial designs;
• trade marks, service marks and commercial names and designations;
• protection against unfair competition;
• literary, artistic and scientific works;
• performances of performing artists, phonograms and broadcasts;
• inventions in all fields of human endeavour;
• scientific discoveries.

In line with trends in the legal industry MBT has entered into agency arrangements with specialist firms in the area of intellectual property law, namely, Gilbert & Tobin and Phillips Fox.

MBT Lawyers have acted on behalf of many Local, National and International clients on all matters pertaining to Intellectual Property Law and continually service these clients with professional, innovative and expert knowledge.
