IP specialist Griffith Hack confirms its status as “an impressive IP outfit”, says a competitor. Widely acknowledged for its strength in depth, “the firm has a very big team and dedicated specialists for every IP area”, adds a client.
The past year has seen the team advise on a complex patent opposition relating to genetic markers for traits of commercial interest in livestock. This involved Meat & Livestock Australia, Australian Wool Innovation, Dairy Australia, the Cooperative Research Centre for Beef Genetic Technologies and the Cooperative Research Centre for Sheep Industry Innovation. The patent application contains very broad claims which, if granted in their present form, would greatly restrict the application of marker assisted selection in livestock breeding programmes. It would also prevent research directed to the enhancement of commercially desirable traits in livestock animals produced in Australia.
