A Patent Box Grant: The Bang the ‘Idea’s Boom’ Needs
December 11th, 2015The ‘ideas boom’, the blueprint to innovation, or just simply, the Innovation Statement – whichever way you prefer to coin Turnbull’s first economic report as government, there is no denying that ‘innovation’ has become a buzzword in the Australian vocabulary this week. The innovation statement, released on Monday, unveiled a $1.1 billion plan to foster innovation with 24 new measures across 11 different Government groups.

In particular, key elements of the agenda comprise of a 20 per cent rebate for investments in start-ups and a easing of insolvency laws to spur risk-taking by company directors. However, contrary to the expectations of many […]

December 8th, 2015From mining booms, population booms and housing booms – Australia’s history has been littered with ‘bangs’ of productivity. Now, according to the Turnbull government, we are engaged in an ‘ideas boom’ – where all that confines us is our imagination. Certainly, the creation of ideas, or innovation as it is otherwise known, goes hand in hand with research and development (R&D). Hence, in light of the Innovation Statement released yesterday (which we have overviewed here), many have been curious about […]
