IP Enforcement in Australia: What's Actually Happening in the Courts?

Co-hosted by IPRIA and IPTA

In recent years, there has been concern expressed by some IP owners in Australia that courts are "anti-IP", and an increased interest by policy-makers in how IP rights are used and enforced in Australian courts. In response to a lack of empirical data on IP enforcement and IP litigation in Australia, IPRIA created a database of all IP enforcement decisions of Australian courts for the period 1997-2003. Kimberlee Weatherall will present the results of the study, particularly as they relate to patent and trade mark litigation, and will discuss some of the policy implications.
