Madderns protects the intellectual property of Australia’s most distinguished food, wine, and beverage producers. From celebrated heritage brands to ambitious innovators, we provide the strategies that secure reputation and sustain leadership on the world stage.
Australia’s food and beverage industries, anchored by its globally celebrated wine sector, are synonymous with heritage, provenance, and excellence. For decades, Madderns has been entrusted with safeguarding the intellectual property of many of the nation’s most distinguished producers, ensuring their brands and innovations are protected at home and recognised on the world stage.
Our strength lies in the breadth and depth of our expertise across both trade marks and patents. We protect every layer of value in a producer’s business: the brand names and labels that embody reputation, the packaging and designs that capture identity, and the technical innovations in viticulture, winemaking, brewing, food production, and distribution that drive competitive advantage.
With long-standing relationships across the sector and active involvement in pre-eminent industry bodies, we bring unrivalled insight into the commercial realities faced by food and beverage businesses. From multi-generational family estates and heritage wineries to premium food houses, ambitious start-ups, and disruptive new entrants, we provide IP strategies that secure reputation, support growth and enable global expansion.
Because international reach is integral to this sector, our Trade Marks team is renowned for managing complex global brand portfolios, ensuring seamless protection wherever our clients’ products are found. Our Patents team works in parallel, securing rights for production technologies, packaging innovations and product developments that underpin growth and leadership.
Producers choose Madderns because they recognise that intellectual property in this industry is not simply a legal formality but rather the cornerstone of legacy, craftsmanship and reputation. We are proud to be the trusted advisors behind many of the names that define Australian food and wine excellence.
