hi guys, quick question can legal aid deal with the following: (Intellectual property law)
Location: Melbourne, Australia, I have browsed through the website but couldn't get a solid answer regarding representation.

• passing off
• trade mark infringement
• misleading and deceptive conduct of passing off.

The trial is in federal court of Australia (WA)
I don't have the funds to get a IP barrister that is well known.

Warm regards,

Are you the plaintiff or the defendant?
And which state are you in?

In that case, you will probably not be entitled to Legal Aid in WA, no.

As to Legal Aid from Victoria, to defend a civil matter in WA,
you will need to discuss that with them.
