AJPark

A J Park is New Zealand’s leading intellectual property firm. With about 200 staff in our Auckland and Wellington offices, we are also New Zealand’s largest. We advise on all aspects of intellectual property. For full detail about A J Park see Our structure or our Client Charter.

We can advise you at each of these stages in the intellectual property process:

• invention - developing your idea
• identifying the intellectual property rights in your innovation
• evaluation - assessing if your intellectual property rights are worth protecting
• protection - filing trade mark, patent and design applications
• enforcement - stopping others using your intellectual property and taking action if they do.  Also defending you if you're accused of infringing on some else's rights.
• commercialisation - identifying and negotiating commercial contracts to maximise returns for your intellectual property.

Established in 1891, we have a proven track record working with New Zealand’s most innovative organisations.

We protect and enhance our client’s intellectual property using all the tools available to us: technical experience and expertise, practical skills, legal rigour, technology, management systems, networks, a culture of innovation, and a passion for what we do.

A J Park employs nearly a third of New Zealand’s registered patent attorneys working in New Zealand firms. Dedicated teams specialise in a range of technologies that include biotechnology, chemistry, software and electronics, and mechanical and electrical engineering.

Our teams facilitate cultural change in our clients' organisations to maximise their intellectual property strategies. Our teams are equipped with the technical background and skills to understand your cutting-edge inventions and keep up-to-date with the latest developments. We translate that understanding into practical intellectual property advice. Should your intellectual property rights be threatened, our skilled litigation team acts incisively to protect your interests.

We are committed to maximising financial returns to our clients by exploiting the commercial potential of their intellectual property.  We advise on licensing, franchising and commercial contractual arrangements.

We can help you with any enquiry about intellectual property in New Zealand, Australia or overseas.
