Trademark Application and Registration

Registering a trademark in Australia is a two step process - making an application and registering the trademark.

Step 1 - Making an Application

The first step is to make an application to IP Australia. The application is examined to ensure it meets the legal requirementsof the Trademarks Act 1995.

If the application does not meet the legal requirements, IP Australia will issue an Examination Report which informs you which parts of your application do not comply. You have the opportunity to respond to any of the issues raised in the Examination Report up to 15 months from the date you make your application.

trademarkzone will manage the entire trademark application filing process on your behalf. We will:

  1. Prepare your trade mark application
  2. File your application electronically with IP Australia
  3. Check and forward a copy of the filing receipt
  4. Where the Trademarks Examiner issues an initial Examination Report raising objections to the registration of the trademark, receive and forward a copy and an analysis of the Examination Report
  5. Where the trademark is accepted, receive, check and forward notification of the official acceptance
  6. Monitor the application through the advertisement and opposition period

Our Price AU$250 per trademark
PLUS AU$200 per class

Please note that once we have submitted your application to IP Australia,  no amendments may be made to the application. If you have any questions, or have made an error, please contact us immediately.

Step 2 - Registering the Trademark

Once an application is accepted, there is a second process of finalising the registration of your trademark. trademarkzone will manage the trademark registration process on your behalf.

  1. Filing your registration fee electronically with IP Australia
  2. Watching for issuance of the official Certificate of Registration
  3. Where the trademark is registered, checking and forwarding the official Certificate of Registration.

We Recommend

trademarkzone recommends that before you apply for your trademark, you request a Basic Search or a Full Search. This will give you an indication of whether anyone else has applied for a similar mark to your own in Australia or whether there are any reasons that IP Australia may refuse your trademark.
