How it all began
Rodyk IP is the result of decades of providing leading advice on intellectual property matters.
It has its beginning in 1861 when Robert Carr Woods partnered with James Guthrie Davidson to form Woods & Davidson. Bernard Rodyk joined the firm in 1877, and the firm was renamed Rodyk & Davidson. In 2016, the IP practice was rebranded as Rodyk IP.
Through the years, our IP services is at the fore-front of development: we were one of the first to hire technical specialists, including an Australian patent attorney and today, we have several professionals with different technical background, catering to clients in different industries.
