Case studies
A short and honest selection of engagements we’ve been consented to publish. Every claim links back to a public record — IP Australia, ASIC, ATO rulings, court judgments — so you can verify it yourself.
Establishing, defending and internationalising the MyMoney trademark
A twenty-year engagement with MyMoney Pty Ltd spanning trademark registration (classes 35 and 36), two successful oppositions against conflicting marks, and a commercial coexistence settlement with an international applicant — all on the public IP Australia register.
Defending a Class 36 trademark against a Fortune-500 multinational
In 2015 a Fortune-500 global corporate filed a removal-for-non-use application against our long-term client's Class 36 Australian trademark INVESTOR VIEW (TM 812479). We coordinated the opposition-to-removal within the statutory timeframes. The applicant withdrew; the mark was retained, renewed and later commercialised through further assignments.
Defeating all three opposition grounds — Qoney (TM 1870584) cleared to register
In 2018 a Fortune-500 global corporate opposed our long-term client's Qoney trademark (TM 1870584, classes 9, 35, 36 and 42). The opponent pursued three grounds — sections 42(b), 44 and 60 of the Trade Marks Act 1995 (Cth), including the reputation ground. The Trade Marks Office decided the matter on the written record and found for our client on every ground. The registration proceeded.
Building — and holding the registration for — two NDIS businesses
We designed, built and now operate two properties serving the NDIS market from opposite ends: MyCareFinders, a reverse marketplace where providers come to the participant, and MyMoney MyGoals, a plan management service delivered under a registration that Local Knowledge holds itself. This is compliance engineering we are subject to, not compliance advice we hand over.
Codifying 25 years of due diligence — without letting the AI touch the arithmetic
InvestorView and Ding Ventures turn a quarter-century of due diligence method into working software. The design decision that defines both: a language model may frame the question and draft the narrative, but every number is computed deterministically in code. Valuation output is built to survive scrutiny, not to sound convincing.
Shipping a real-world asset tokenisation platform with the compliance built in
MyMoney and Qoney tokenise real-world assets on the XRP Ledger, with automated identity screening and anti-money-laundering workflow designed in from the schema up. Built by an accounting practice, which is an unusual origin in this sector and the reason the compliance layer is not an afterthought.
Six commerce properties and a placement engine that improves itself
Aus.Tools, Aus.Deals and four state properties aggregate live pricing across Australian suppliers and retailers, with an AI negotiation advisor on top and a self-learning placement engine underneath. Every one of them already carries “Finance by Local Knowledge Finance” — the commercialisation loop closes back to the practice.
