Baxter IP’s Sydney Office was established in 2007 by Chris Baxter. In 2012, Martin Earley came on-board as co-Director to establish Baxter IP’s Victoria Office. Baxter IP’s operation has grown steadily since that time and now comprises 22 team members across its attorney, professional and administration teams.
Baxter IP has grown with its clientele
Our 2000+ strong client base ranges from well-known multinational corporations, universities and SMEs to venture capital firms, tech start-ups and many successful entrepreneurs, all of whom benefit from a firm that has grown alongside them.
We are one of only a handful of boutique, mid-sized patent and trade mark attorney firms in Australia that is still privately owned and clients benefit from accessing the breadth of industry expertise and systems of a larger firm at mid-tier rates with predictable, fixed fees.
Most awarded mid-sized patent & trade mark firm in Australia
We are one of the most awarded mid-sized firms in Australia, particularly for our expertise in software patenting. In addition, many of our attorneys have received individual awards too for their expertise in IP and commercialisation.
Proven client service track record
Whilst we are appreciative of the awards received, what is more important to us is the experience clients have in working with us. We survey our clients every year and our latest Net Promoter Score was an outstanding 77 in 2021. Net Promoter score is the normative scoring method for client happiness used by large corporations and scores range from -100 to +100.
Advice reinforced by IP enforcement experience
We work closely with lawyers and barristers to defend and enforce client IP rights, effectively providing end-to-end service for contentious matters. We filter the learnings and knowledge from contentious cases and patent litigation back up to our patent and trade mark attorneys, so we can draft stronger, more defensible patent and trade mark applications. If the ability to enforce your intellectual property is part of your commercial risk mitigation strategy, you are in no better hands than Baxter IP.
