How Can You Retain Intellectual Property When A Client Will Not Pay?

A service provider who has not assigned their intellectual property still owns it, regardless of what the invoice says. Under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), the creator owns copyright by default, and ownership moves only by written assignment. Paying a designer or developer does not transfer ownership on its own. That default gives service providers real leverage where a client refuses to pay. Retention and suspension clauses turn the default into a contractual right to withhold deliverables.

New Zealand | The Changing Shape Of Patent Prosecution

New Zealand patent prosecution has evolved significantly since the Patents Act 2013, developing its own examination culture distinct from Australia. With inventive step now central to examination, fixed divisional deadlines, and compressed prosecution timetables, applicants must make strategic decisions earlier than in other jurisdictions to preserve claim scope and maintain flexibility throughout the patent process.
