About FB Rice

We are experts in the protection of intellectual property and we work with our clients to create strategies with high commercial impact. 
Founded over sixty years ago, FB Rice is Australia’s leading independent intellectual property firm. FB Rice is privately owned by the partners, does not have external shareholders or shares traded on the stock market, and does not have a law firm within our practice. Nor is the firm aligned to any one law firm. So intellectual property is our sole focus, which ensures the best possible development and protection for our clients' intellectual property.

We provide coverage across all aspects of intellectual property prosecution practice including:

• Preparation, filing and prosecution of patent applications in Australia and New Zealand
• Oppositions in Australia and other countries
• Infringement, clearance and validity searches and opinions
• Filing and prosecution of trade marks, registered designs and plant breeders' rights.
