Subject: wording from New2R&d re patent advice
To: Dean Donovan <[email address]>
Hi Dean
under 
Below is the wording from new2R&D on FTO searches. It will need to be adapted for Arohia, let me know if its easier
to send me the draft eligible costs guidance and I can slot this in for you and make sure it makes sense in the context.
Thanks
Helena
We recommend doing due diligence on providers in this space, including taking into account whether they are
Released 
registered or recognised by any industry body. For patent related work and advice, under New Zealand law we
recommend you contact a registered Trans-Tasman patent attorney (the directory can be found here).  
Please note that Callaghan Innovation will only co-fund or fund patent work and patent advice that is provided by a
registered patent attorney. This includes advice on the validity of patents and their infringement resulting from
Freedom to Operate (FTO)/IP scanning search results.
