What types of Intellectual Property does Dittko IP handle?

We provide services across the entire IP spectrum. But, we specialise in providing IP strategy and advice specific to your individual needs. For example, if appropriate for your business, we can assist with registration of patents, trade marks, and registered designs. Additionally, we provide advice on managing trade secrets, copyright, freedom to operate searching and many other areas. Importantly, we provide tailored advice for each area, not just generic information that can quickly become overwhelming if not relevant to you. Finally, we also provide IP Management services for those companies that have an IP portfolio already.

How does Dittko IP structure its pricing?

We offer fixed quotes up-front to ensure transparent and affordable services with no risk of surprises once it’s too late. Additionally, as a small firm without a big fancy office, we are able to offer our services at a fraction of the price of the big firms.

Initial meetings are free of charge and you will always be provided with a fixed, up-front cost before any work is started. This makes sure you always know what to expect and there will never be any surprises.

Can Dittko IP assist with international IP protection?

Yes, we guide you through securing IP rights in Australia, New Zealand, and all other overseas markets.

What makes Dittko IP different from larger firms?

As a small firm, we provide personalised service focused on your unique needs and goals. You will always be dealing directly with the person doing the work, and this will always be the same person. Additionally, our advice is easy to understand even if you have never worked with an IP firm before. Finally, without all the unnecessary bells and whistles of the larger firms, you will get the best quality advice at a much more reasonable cost.
