Trans-Tasman Economic Market: Intellectual Property Co-Ordination
In response to the call from the Australian Treasurer and the New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister to develop a seamless trans-Tasman business environment, or "single economic market", by reducing compliance costs and other regulatory barriers, the Ministry of Economic Development and IP Australia have initiated a joint work programme to explore the possibility for coordination in the areas of patents, plant variety rights and trade marks. The ultimate objective for the work programme is to provide for a seamless intellectual property rights processing regime in each of these areas.
