What people say

“I have enjoyed working with Shelley for a number of years - initially in my role as Head of IP at LanzaTech and then across a number of early stage technology start-ups. I consider Shelley to be one of the top life science patent attorneys in the Australia/Pacific region. I always enjoy working with Shelley because her experience extends way beyond the intricacies of patent protection, providing novel approaches to represent and leverage IP.”

“Shelley Rowland came highly recommended to me as one of the best patent attorneys in New Zealand. I am pleased to say I think this is true. As our in-house IP Advisor for Avertana Limited, Shelley came up to speed quickly with our technology and has supported us on strategy, staff education, patent drafting, patent prosecution and trade secret identification, which has been hugely valuable. She is organised and efficient and at all times I have felt she was a 'safe pair of hands' with our growing patent portfolio.”

"I wanted to express my appreciation for your approach to drafting patent specifications. Your collaborative style and attention to detail have made the process both efficient and effective. I particularly value how you take the time to thoroughly understand the technical aspects of the invention, while also considering the broader strategic implications for our intellectual property portfolio. Your ability to translate complex concepts into clear, legally sound language is impressive. Moreover, your openness to feedback and willingness to iterate on drafts ensures that we arrive at the strongest possible patent application. Thank you for your expertise and professionalism.”

“We have worked with Shelley Rowland and Harriet Tregonning for several years. Frank has worked with both Shelley and Harriet since 2011 when they were at [another firm] . . . . Shelley and Harriet, besides having a great command of Australian and New Zealand patent law, also have great knowledge of synthetic biology. In addition to synthetic biology, they both are well versed in chemical engineering. Since we’ve engaged SRIP we have found both Shelley and Harriet to be very responsive to our needs. Our emails and questions are answered quickly with thorough analysis. They both have great attention to detail. Their suggestions as to claim amendments and arguments are excellent. They have helped us to obtain a number of allowances in both Australia and New Zealand. It is truly a pleasure to work with both of them.”
