TESTIMONIALS
As an independent inventor, figuring out how to address national phase application on time seemed like a daunting task.
I researched at least 10 services and felt a good vibe from the PTE website.
I have found them prompt, communicative, knowledgeable
and concerned about my the future of my invention.
On top of that, all at a fair price.
If you are unsure about choosing this type of service,
I want to let you know that PTE worked for me and if need be, I will contact them in the future.
We work with TPFC on prosecution of Indian patent applications, patent searches and further areas. We appreciate the excellent quality and reliability of TPFC. Also urgent matters are handled to our greatest satisfaction.
I have worked with TPFC on various Trademark search projects and I was much pleased with their excellent work quality, prompt response as well as their competitive pricing. The team was always able to produce quality search report that represents good value for my clients. I am glad to have found a solid TPFC that I can rely on and also, recommend them to others.
I have worked with TPFC for a number of years and have found them reliable. The team is responsive and I would recommend TPFC to others. Hope to growing the relationship further.
I have retained TPFC on several projects and referred several of our clients to them. They are responsive and responsible. TPFC has always come through for me and my clients with timely, effective, and on-point search results.

FAQs
Q1. What is the overall term required for filing a patent application in Australia?
To claim a priority date for a provisional application, one must apply for a (standard or innovation) patent or apply a Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application within a year of filing the provisional application.
Q2. What are the types of patents granted in Australia?
There are two types of patents granted in Australia – standard and innovation.
Q3. What is the duration of standard and innovation patents in Australia?
A standard patent offers long-term protection for an invention, lasting up to 20 years from the date of filing an application or almost 25 years for pharmaceutical constituents. While innovation patents offer protection for inventions with a short market life that may be replaced by newer innovations.
Q4. How can you request for examination of a standard Australian patent application?
You need to request for examination of your standard patent application within five years of filing. IP Australia generally directs you to request examination after four years. It is mandatory to request examination within two months of this date or within 5 years of application filing (whichever is the earliest date). If you fail to request examination on time, the application will lapse.
Q5. What is the difference between an innovation patent and a standard patent?
An innovation patent offers protection for inventions with a short market life that may be replaced by newer innovations and lasts up to 8 years. It takes almost one month for grant and six months for examination (on request). A standard patent, on the other hand, provides long-term protection for an invention, lasting up to 20 years from the date of filing or nearly 25 years for pharmaceuticals. It takes up six months to several years to process a standard patent (depending on the situations).
