Hi

My wife and I are importing a new product to Australia from China.



The product is supplied by a US company and we are in negotiations to have an exclusive distribution agreement to Australia and New Zealand.



There is currently no patent in Australia that we are aware of however the product has been previously sold here and there are concept and design patents already in the US and EU.



We want to make sure that the agreement they are having drafted by their attorney is sufficient and want to make sure that no other business can sell this product in Australia or New Zealand.



I’m not sure if this is the type of thing you can assist with however would appreciate any advice or assistance you can provide in protecting our interests locally.



Thanks for your time.
