FAL Commercial Lawyers and FAL IP Lawyers have supported the HEARing Cooperative Research Centre and our commercial companies HearWorks, HEAR IP and now HEARnet Ltd through some 30 years of operations. Throughout this entire period, I have found FAL's staff to be highly professional, experienced, and knowledgeable in the field. With their help, we have commercialised IP returning over $20m, and spun out two companies. FAL have always been highly responsive, and willing to give the extra services to ensure that the deal/job gets done. They have represented us in several successful patent opposition
