THINK IT.   OWN IT.   PROTECT IT.

We Care. It’s Why We Exist in the First Place

IP Gateway is an independent, Queensland-owned and operated patent and trade mark attorney firm based in Brisbane, Australia, specialising in the establishment, protection, enforcement and management of intellectual property (IP).

Established and operating since 2006, we have a strong diverse local and overseas client base, from private individuals and start-up businesses, to large national and multinational corporations.

A patent attorney for almost 40 years, Wayne Slater developed a vision for practicing intellectual property law that was based on a set of four pillars: science, law, business and people management. With a natural affinity for engaging people, and a true willingness to listen to their story, he began to see that aligning intellectual property law with commercial objectives to meet the needs of his clients was the only way to ensure customer satisfaction.

Wishing to align his practice with this approach, Wayne created a new business model that provides personalised service through customised intellectual property solutions matched to your business goals.

We Take Your Intellectual Property Needs Personally

Our process begins with a phone call or an email. We believe in good old-fashioned service.  A same day response and that personal touch to show you are a valued customer, not just a number.  We get to know you and your business so our experts can deliver the most appropriate intellectual property advice and solutions for you.
