Report on the trans-Tasman patent attorney registration regime review released

The Arrangement between the Governments of Australia and New Zealand relating to the Trans-Tasman Regulation of Patent Attorneys required that a review of the effectiveness of the registration regime was undertaken within 5 years of its implementation in February 2017.

IP Australia and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) conducted this review and collected information on issues through a public consultation on the regime. The consultation ran from 17 November 2021 to 2 February 2022 and received 7 submissions.

The resulting joint report on the review can be found on the MBIE website:
