I want to prevent future IP headaches

Last updated: 29 May 2025

This pilot tool helps you take early steps to protect your intellectual property. From choosing the right IP right to understanding how to keep it safe, we’ll guide you through practical actions to reduce risk and prevent common IP problems down the track.

Please note: This part of IP First Response is still under development and currently only the ‘I believe my rights have been infringed’ navigator tool has been developed.

This tool is currently in early-stage development and testing, aimed at determining its usefulness to rights holders like you. We invite you to provide feedback about this navigator tool, IP First Response, and your experience enforcing your  IP through our IP First Response feedback form(Opens in a new tab/window)(Opens in a new tab/window)   and IPFirstResponse@IPAustralia.gov.au.
