FAQs
A trademark can be a word, phrase, logo, shape, colour, sound, scent, or a combination of these that distinguishes your goods or services from others. The mark must be distinctive and not merely descriptive of the goods or services it covers.
The process typically takes 7–13 months from lodgement to registration, subject to examination and any opposition period. Once registered, the trademark is protected for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely.
Trademark protection is class-specific. You should register for every class that covers your current products and services, as well as those you plan to offer in the near future. We advise on the right Nice Classification classes for your specific situation.
Yes. If IP Australia raises objections during examination, we prepare a detailed response addressing each ground of objection, submit relevant evidence, and manage all correspondence until the matter is resolved.
Yes. We facilitate international trademark filings through the Madrid Protocol and work with overseas agents to secure protection in key markets including New Zealand, the UK, the US, the EU, and across Asia.
As early as possible — ideally before you launch your brand publicly. In Australia, trademark rights go to the first to file, not the first to use. The sooner you register, the sooner your brand is legally protected.
