The Patents Technical Focus Group (TFG) provides a forum for communication between client representatives and IPONZ in relation to the provision of technical patent intellectual property services in New Zealand.

The Patents TFG regularly meets to discuss feedback on proposed practices and upcoming publications. Its presence supplements existing communication between the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, and other parties interested in intellectual property matters.

Meeting notes from the most recent Patents TFG meeting on 9 February 2016 are now available online.
