Patents (Trans-Tasman Patent Attorneys and Other Matters) Amendment Bill

Government Bill
Published date: 05 Jul 2024

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This Bill proposes an amendment to the grounds on which a person can oppose the grant of a patent under the Patents Act 2013, a single patent application process and single patent examination process with Australia, and a joint registration regime with Australia for patent attorneys.
