Most brands manufacturing in China still think “export-only” means they’re safe from trademark problems. That used to be true. It isn’t anymore.

In July 2025, George Griziotis joined IP Solved, bringing over 40 years’ experience, and a strong reputation for clear, practical advice across patents, trade marks and designs.

A generation ago, farming relied almost entirely on gut instinct — reading the weather, knowing the soil, and trusting years of experience. That intuition still matters.

The RED Grants program is designed to keep regional WA growing — not just through big city investments, but by backing the ideas and industries that start in country towns, farms, and workshops. Round 8 is open now.

Innovation is clearly alive and well across rural Australia. What’s less visible is that much of this innovation isn’t being captured as intellectual property (IP). Learn more about what IP actually is and why you should aim to protect it as you generate it.

Cobram Estate is raising A$185 million, including a sell-down of 2 million shares by co-CEOs Sam Beaton and Leandro Ravetti, to fund expansion aimed squarely at winning over American tables.

Indonesia isn’t just our closest neighbour — it’s ASEAN’s largest economy, home to more than 270 million people, and one of the fastest-transforming markets in the world. Indonesia’s rise offers an unprecedented opportunity for Australian businesses.

Innovation in agriculture doesn’t just happen in laboratories or boardrooms—it’s happening every day in fields, greenhouses, and orchards. If you’ve developed a new plant variety, you may be eligible for formal protection through Plant Variety Rights (PVR).

In celebration of World Intellectual Property Day 2025, which this year carries the theme “IP and Music: Feel the Beat of IP”, Regional IP supports greater awareness around the role intellectual property plays in the global music ecosystem.

Researchers from Qatar’s Hamad Bin Khalifa University have developed a novel solar-powered system to address the challenges of agriculture in remote desert areas.

Agriculture plays a vital role in sustaining the world's population and ongoing innovation. AgTech is therefore particularly important for meeting future demands, enhancing efficiency, productivity and sustainability.

In the future, farmers could grow fruits and vegetables in multilevel indoor farms, thanks to advances in artificial pollination technologies.
