Technical focus group


The purpose of the Patents Technical Focus Group (TFG) is to provide a forum for communication between client representatives and IPONZ in relation to the provision of technical patent intellectual property services in New Zealand. The Group meet to:

  • feedback on proposed practices and upcoming publications,
  • supplement the communication that the Ministry of Economic Development has with other parties interested in IP, for example policy consultation, client surveys, one-on-one contact with users of IP services


Notes from the latest meeting are presented below.
