Hayden Barke

I have been helping companies and individuals obtain Intellectual Property protection in Australia and in other countries since 2002. I take pride in providing advice that is commercially focussed, and directly relates to my clients' current and future intentions.
Although I am passionate about the Intellectual Property field, I am at heart a Mechanical Engineer with an engineer's outlook on the world. My roots lie in rural Australia, where I grew up working on my family's sheep and cattle farm. Farming life gave me a love of science, nature, engineering and practical problem solving, which I have built on through many different career and life experiences.

After more than 15 years working with two of Australia's highly renowned patent attorney firms, I decided to establish Argon IP so that I can continue to provide clients with work of the highest quality, and form attorney-client relationships that build trust, and ensuring a premium and personal level of service on a cost effective basis. I have experience working with multinationals, universities and research institutions, specialist industrial design firms, small- and medium-sized enterprises, start-ups, and entrepreneurs.

When I'm not at work, I spend my time with my family and friends, seeking new adventures (often on a bicycle), playing music, or on hands-on home improvement projects. Sometimes I even get to combine some of these activities.

Hayden's wide ranging patent attorney experience includes the fields of:

• Medical devices, including implants, prosthetics, and surgical needles.
• Building hardware, including locks and latches, movable wall systems, and stairs.
• Mining and material hardware, including rock bolts, drill strings, seismic data equipment, and rock blasting.
• Product transport and delivery devices, including glass lifters, cotton module transporters, and fuel delivery pumps.
• Fluid devices, including heat exchangers, and hydrostatic motors.
