On-Demand Pearce IP Webinars
In this PiPCast™ episode, Pearce IP’s CEO, Naomi Pearce, and Executive Lawyer (Head of Litigation – Australia), Helen Macpherson, examine a significant recent Federal Court decision demonstrating just how quickly Australian courts can act when valuable intellectual property and confidential information are at risk.
In this case, the judge ordered an urgent interlocutory injunction requiring the withdrawal of patent applications which were allegedly based on confidential information obtained by a former employee.
But the most striking aspect of the decision was not simply the injunction itself – it was the speed of the Court’s response: Three working days from filing to protection.
For employers, the message is clear: the loss of confidential information, trade secrets and valuable IP through departing employees can have devastating commercial consequences – and urgent action may be critical.
Hear Naomi and Helen unpack the decision, learn how businesses can protect their IP before a crisis occurs, and what steps may be available when confidential information has already been compromised.
