FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS A TRADE MARK?
A trade mark or brand is your unique business identifier. It lets the public know that the goods or services attached to the mark are unique to your business. Trade mark registration is therefore an invaluable asset and essential marketing tool for your business and should not be overlooked.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET A TRADE MARK REGISTRATION?
It will take no less than 7.5 months to get your trade mark registered in Australia. This is provided your trade mark is not rejected by IP Australia nor opposed by another party.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR REGISTERING A TRADE MARK IN AUSTRALIA?
Once your trade mark is filed, it will be examined by IP Australia. It usually takes 4-6 months for the examiner’s report to be issued although it is possible to speed up this process to 4-6 weeks under certain circumstances.
The TradeMark Factory will file your trade mark using the Headstart process which means we will receive a preliminary assessment for your application from IP Australia within 7 working days.
If your application is accepted without objection or we are able to overcome any objections raised, the application will be advertised in the Australian Official Journal of Trade Marks for a 2 month period whereby anyone can oppose your application if they are concerned about its registration.
If no opposition is filed within the 2 month opposition period, your application will proceed to registration. Once registered, it will remain so for 10 years.
DO I NEED TO USE MY TRADE MARK?
In order to maintain your trade mark, you should use it on the goods and services for which it is registered.
If you do not use your trade mark within the 3 years after your trade mark is entered on the Register, it may be vulnerable to removal for non-use.
