Shannon specialises in brand protection, IP litigation and IP commercialisation. This includes international trade marks and designs registration (including advice, prosecution and representation in oppositions and actions before IP offices), agreements for technology and other IP licensing and commercialisation (including copyright, trade marks, designs, and confidential information and trade secrets), advertising and brand clearance (including advising on Australian Consumer Law issues and promotional lottery regulations), and disputes, including litigation and domain name disputes via the UDRP, auDRP and like processes.
