Expertise

Alice’s areas of expertise are:

  • Commercial law and contracting
  • Corporations law and governance
  • Information and communications technology
  • Intellectual Property

Alice’s significant achievements with the firm include:

  • Advising the Department of Broadband on the availability of the name “NBN Co”, the registration of their trademarks and domain names. This work included obtaining the assignment of NBN Co related trademarks from NBN Tasmania and advising on potential conflicts.
     
  • Advising on the assignment of the intellectual property rights issues associated with the development of off-the-shelf mapping reports for purchase by third parties. This involved ensuring appropriate licences and warranties were in place with the data suppliers and potential purchasers of the reports.
     
  • Providing advice in relation to a technology agreement developed to enable components to be reverse engineered and changed, supported by full access to all the relevant technical documentation.

  • Advising the Australian National University in relation to government-funded collaborative research agreement. This involved examining whether the transfer of biological material to other researchers would result in the researchers becoming parties to the agreement under the grant terms.
     
  • Establishing intellectual property due diligence programs in relation to commercialisation activities, with particular regard to company spin outs.
