Biotechnology

Whilst biotechnology is still considered by many to be the technology of the future, at Griffith Hack we emphasise this science as the technology of the present. Some years ago we formed a national, multidisciplinary practice group in this area and continue to recruit professionals with post-doctorate qualifications in the emerging areas of biotechnology, such as plant and animal genomics, gene expression technology, protein production and engineering, bioinformatics, carbohydrate and lipid biosynthesis and drug production.

Photonics

Australia is the leading photonics research and production area in the Southern Hemisphere and Griffith Hack is a leading provider of IP services to the world's best companies in this rapidly developing and exciting technology. Our professionals have significant expertise in photonic device development and design, optical fibre production, signal manipulation and processing and chemical formulation of components.

Information and Communications

The information and communications revolution has changed the way people work, live and communicate. Our professionals have rapidly adapted to these changes and service leading edge companies in the fields of software engineering, computer science and telecommunications.

Internet

Australian patent law is equally as generous as US law in protecting business schemes and methods conducted on and via the Internet. Our practitioners service a diverse range of Internet businesses and provide specialist legal services that assist businesses with commercialising and enforcing Internet technology.

Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is a current emerging technology. It is multi-disciplinary, and professionals in a number of our groups currently track or work with nanotechnology developments in a variety of fields, such as miniature robotics in medicine, molecular recognition and manipulation of surfaces, and quantum computers.
