Principal, Electrical/ICT Team Robert Miller practised as a professional engineer for a number of years before becoming a patent attorney. This included roles as a design and commissioning engineer on industrial projects in mines, petro-chemical plants and paper mills working on rotating machines and associated high power converter equipment and microprocessor-based control systems, and as a consulting engineer. Robert has around 20 years’ experience in the patent profession, and his practice presently is focused on the drafting and prosecution of patent specifications in the fields of power engineering, telecommunications and computing. He also has appeared in a large number of oral proceedings before the Australian Patent Office, especially contested patent oppositions. Robert has for several years lectured students seeking registration as patent attorneys in Australia, most recently through the Law Faculty of the University of Technology Sydney. Robert recently led the Spruson&Ferguson team in developing a comprehensive IP Manual entitled Intellectual Property Management: A Practical Guide for Electrical and Electronics Related Industries. This unique manual was developed as an initiative of the Electronics Industry Action Agenda, and provides knowledge and guidance on IP issues for a range of audiences within Australian enterprises. Outside of his day-to-day practise, Robert is active professionally as Assistant Secretary General of AIPPI.
