Hi, i am from perth western australia, interested in putting a small busines involving hydrographics printing or also knowm as water transfer printing. The nice lady at the small business centre in perth told me i might be infinging something as a patent for this showed up from a japanese company on the archives as we searched for it so does that mean i cant put up a hydrographics business? We also found numerous businesses over the eastern states like melbourne and sydney that does it and they have websites as well. how come they were able to put up business?

Interesting read and not as scary as people tried to make it out to be when it all went down.
Its the same as PPG designing the process for which paint will stick to a car. Its multiple layers and techniques that all work together, but at its core it is using a spray gun and applying paint to the vehicle. Thousands of company's make different versions of the paints, primers, sand paper, buffing compound, flex agents, clear coats or a thousand different related products. YOU are not designing anything, you are not creating a process. You are paying for its usage, and then applying it to another product that has been paid for.
You are concerned about absolutely nothing. All is legal if it is paid for. There is no assumption that you designed the way for the print to stick to the paint.
