Frequently Asked Questions
Registering a trade mark starts with conducting a thorough check to understand whether the name and trade mark you’re looking to register is already used by someone else. Our trade mark lawyers conduct a variety of advanced searches to ensure that when you register: 1) the application is not rejected because it is being used by someone else or is too generic; and 2) the name you register does not result in future conflicts by other businesses.
Registering a trade mark can be a long process. IP Australia, the Australian regulatory body that oversees the regulation of Trade Marks in Australia, can take time in processing and accepting trade mark applications. Usually, it takes 7.5 months to register a trade mark from the date it is first filed, assuming there are no objections along the way. The application process involves classifying your business/brand into one of 45 classes. Our lawyers conduct extensive searches before beginning the application process to avoid any hiccups or delays throughout the application process.
Having a trade mark in Australia (though IP Australia) will protect your trade mark inside Australia only. It does not provide legal protection internationally. If you plan to operate internationally, it’s highly recommended to apply in the target markets you wish to pursue – such as the US and UK.
Aside from our trade mark services, we help businesses with a variety of other IP services such as licensing and confidentiality protection.
