Australia tends to undersell its position in technology. In intellectual property specifically, the foundations are strong: a mature and well-administered registration system, a serious university research base, and a profession that is open to better tools.
The market is also a manageable size. It is large enough to matter and small enough to understand properly, which is exactly the condition you want when building software that has to fit real workflows rather than a generic global average.
Building here also means building in the same time zone and under the same rules as the firms and teams we work with. That is not a small thing. Software for a regulated profession has to get the details right, and the details are local.
We think the next generation of IP technology can come from here. We are trying to be part of the reason it does.
