When it comes to protecting our culture in this ever changing world, Lynell Tuffery Huria (Ngāti Ruanui, Ngā Ruahine) is leading the way and utilising her expertise to ensure that Māori and international indigenous communities are supported in protecting their intellectual property.
As the first Māori patent lawyer here in Aotearoa, Lynell is a specialist in all aspects of trade mark protection, management and enforcement.
