Dear Friends & Colleagues,
As we come to the end of another year, all of us at Wrays would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our clients and Associates for your continued trust, collaboration, and support throughout 2025.
This year has been exceptional for so many of you, and as IP professionals, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing our clients succeed. From clinical breakthroughs and company listings to FDA approvals, new market entries, successful dispute outcomes and the awards and grants you’ve secured, it has been truly exciting to witness your achievements and support your new ideas, technologies, and businesses.
This year also marked an exciting chapter for our firm. In September, we announced that Wrays, with its long tradition of innovation and IP excellence, had joined the Rouse Group an international IP firm. This has strengthened our ability to support our clients even further, combining our local expertise and service with Rouse’s international reach, deep sector knowledge, and advanced technology platforms.
While joining Rouse enhances our global capabilities, our clients’ best interests remain at the heart of everything we do. Wrays continues to collaborate with a broad network of associate firms, always choosing the right partners to best serve each client’s specific needs.
We remain incredibly proud of our firm culture and career pathways, reflected in some of the highest retention rates in the IP industry. This year, we celebrated several significant milestones, including Dr Brendan Peachey’s 25 years with the firm, farewelled the much-loved and respected Janet Stead as she prepares for a well-deserved retirement, and announced the appointment of Vineetha Veerakumar as our new Head of Trade Marks.
Wrays will take a short break from close of business on 24 December 2025, reopening on 2 January 2026. If you need support during this time, please reach out to us at wrays@wrays.com.au, as this inbox will continue to be monitored.
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your success this year. We wish you a safe, restful holiday season and look forward to supporting you in 2026.
