Strategic partnerships FB Rice has recently partnered with ANDHealth to provide critical IP and R&D tax expertise to digital and connected health companies, signaling opportunities to cross-sell IP services with health-tech accelerators, research institutes, and startups navigating commercialization.

Growth leadership The appointment of a Head of People and Culture and ongoing expansion across Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia point to a focus on scaling talent and client delivery, suggesting opportunities to offer training, retention, and organizational IP strategy services to mid-market and growth-stage clients.

Awarded credibility Consistent client awards and high ranking in patent prosecution demonstrate strong market credibility, creating openings to approach research-driven organizations and universities seeking trusted IP counsel for complex portfolios and competitive positioning.

Broad client reach FB Rice serves a wide range of clients from startups to global corporations, with deep ties to CSIRO and various innovation hubs, offering a pathway to multi-client programs, preferred vendor arrangements, and scalable IP management solutions across portfolios.

Technology footprint Utilization of major tech platforms (AWS, Atlassian, Microsoft 365) and digital marketing datapoints suggests potential to offer IP analytics, portfolio optimization, and process automation services to enhance efficiency for clients with large IP estates.
