trademark registration can be obtained for words, logo, numerals, slogan,
device and more. It is provides legal right of exclusivity for use of the mark
to the owner of the trademark. Australia trademark registration is however a
long process involving multiple steps. In this article we cover the trademark
registration process in Australia.
Australia Trademark Search
Before
filling an Australia trademark to the official trademark office for
registration, we strongly suggest having a thorough search conducted. Due to
processes of search conducted, you will know the chances of successful
registration in a matter. We will conduct a comprehensive search of the records
held in the 'trademark registry' by the government office, and report to you on
any trademarks found to be identical or deceptively similar to yours.
Unlike
business or company name registration, it can sometimes be difficult to
register your trademark if a similar mark is already in place. From
comprehensive report can advise you of options to overcome difficulties. We
will also advise you on matters, other than conflicting trademarks, that may
cause problems or difficulty in registering your mark.
Filing an Australia Trademark Application
Once
the search is finalized, or if you choose not to have a search conducted, we
can file an Australia Trademark application with the government office on your
behalf. It is at this stage, we must specify which of the 45 classes we are
applying under. A fee is charged per class or category required. A class is
essentially a category of goods or services. For example, if your trademark is
to identify a clothing label, then only one class would be required. However,
if the trademark was also the name of your shop then an additional class would
be required.
Australia Trademark Protection
Once
your mark has been accepted, and presuming no third party objects to your
registration during the standard three month opposition period, your trademark
will become registered for a period of ten years from the date of filing.
