The two types of patents granted in Australia are the standard patent and the innovation patent. Find out about the differences in the type of inventions they cover and the length of protection they offer.
Are incentives available for start-ups?
You can find out more about tax incentives available for early stage investors here: Tax incentives for early stage investors | Australian Taxation Office (ato.gov.au).
I lodged an EOI months ago and have not been invited. Should I lodge a new one?
Lodging duplicate EOIs will not speed things up. The Department invites candidates in priority order each round, and only a small share of EOIs receive an invitation. If your achievements have changed significantly since you lodged, speak with us about strengthening your EOI.
Can I still apply for the Global Talent or Distinguished Talent visa?
Since 6 December 2024, the National Innovation visa has replaced both the Global Talent and Distinguished Talent programs under subclass 858. New applicants must lodge an EOI and be invited. Applications lodged before that date continue to be processed under the previous rules.
What if I Cannot Find an Australian Nominator?
