Chemical

Allens Arthur Robinson Patent & Trade Marks Attorneys has a team of patent attorneys with strong backgrounds in chemistry and chemical engineering.

Chemicals in industry

The chemical industry, a well-established and longstanding contributor to our standard of living, is a dynamic, forward-looking industry - and an experienced user of intellectual property.

Patents in the chemical industry have their own special requirements, and we're skilled in the techniques needed to create the best protection for your intellectual property in this area. Our training as chemists, chemical engineers and metallurgists means we understand the fields you operate in, and can help you address the scientific and commercial issues you face.

Our chemical practice helps clients who work with:

  • adhesives
  • agricultural chemicals
  • cement
  • ceramics
  • detergents
  • explosives
  • general chemicals
  • metallurgy and mining
  • paints and surface coatings
  • petroleum
  • photographic
  • plastics
  • polymers
  • printing
  • pulping and paper making
  • textiles
  • water treatment

Recent experience

Some areas in which we have worked:

  • Agricultural chemicals
    We manage the patent portfolio of a manufacturer of agricultural chemicals, and work closely with its research and development team to identify patentable inventions and develop patenting strategies

  • Paper and pulp manufacture
    We have assisted in the protection of new paper making methods; advised a major paper company on licensing of technology, and advised another major company on infringement issues relating to paper making machinery

  • Mining and metallurgy
    We act for mining and resource companies; filing and prosecuting patent applications in Australia and overseas covering mineral extraction, downstream processing and treatment of refractory ores for mining companies; and opposing the grant of an ore pre-treatment process. As well as standard patent attorney services, we also advise on areas such as the registration of chemical compounds, and environmental law issues - for example, chemical storage and disposal

  • Chemical processing
    We act for a local client developing alternative methods for wool scouting and pesticide removal
