A registered trade mark protects your brand — your name, logo or slogan. You register it with IP Australia, and searching first avoids a costly clash. We’ll guide you.
A registered trade mark protects a brand element — your business name, logo or slogan — giving you exclusive rights to use it for your goods or services and to stop others copying it.
Before applying, it’s worth checking your mark isn’t too similar to an existing one — a clash can waste your application fee and force a rebrand later.
You apply to IP Australia, choosing the right classes of goods/services. The application is examined and, if accepted, advertised before registration. Registration lasts ten years and is renewable.
We advise on whether your mark is registrable, search for conflicts, choose the right classes, and manage the application. Book a consult to protect your brand.
