FB Rice has a specialised intellectual property searching and watching practice, AthenaIP. Based in Australia, we search across industries globally.

Whether searching or watching industry trends, we can provide both customised or standardised reports to suit your needs. We work with you to deliver quality searching within tiered cost structures, provide you with the best landscape analysis.

Our local and international clients look to us to provide tailored search reports and analysis of the highest quality. No two search requests are the same, so we do not use pro-forma reporting. Instead we provide customised reporting based on a detailed understanding of our clients’ needs.
