In addition he managed CSIRO's major litigation relating to its inventions and their commercialisation. In particular he led prosecutions concerned with the unlicensed use of CSIRO's patents for modern wireless local area systems (Wi-Fi) by major telecommunications companies. Following difficulties in joint ventures with private organisations, Healy led the development of a new Commercial Practice Manual for CSIRO, including a comprehensive suite of standard form legal agreements. The legal team he built up was widely regarded as the best in its class in Australia. Having been let go by CSIRO in 2014, Healy joined Swinburne University of Technology where he advises on intellectual property and commercialisation, and chairs the Intellectual Property Committee. He plays a central role in the CSIRO history project based at Swinburne, and is one of the principal interviewers for the Oral History Project. 2010 Career position - General Counsel, CSIRO 1969 1969 Education - BSc (physics) University of Melbourne 1970 Career position - Trainee patent attorney, CSIRO 1973 1973 Education - LLB (hons), Australian National University 1973 1975 Career event - Seconded to the office of the Minister for Science 1995 1995 Education - LLM, University of Melbourne 2009 2009 Award - CSIRO Chairman's Medal for Science and Engineering Excellence (as team member with John O'Sullivan, Graham Daniels, Diethelm Ostry, Terence Percival, and colleagues) 2010 2014 Career position - Special Attorney, CSIRO 2012 2012 Award - CSIRO Medal for Lifetime Achievement 2016 Career position - Researcher and interviewer, CSIRO History Project 2016 Career position - Chairman, Intellectual Property Committee, Swinburne University of Technology 2025 Career position - Adjunct Professor, Office of the Chief Scientist, Swinburne University of Technology Upstill, Howard Garrett (Garrett) (1946 - ) Webb, John Mark (1944 - ) Spurling, Thomas Harley (Tom) (1940 - ) CSIRO Oral History Project (2016 - )
