Trade Mark Search
Australia uses a first-to-use policy when determining trade mark ownership. It is therefore imperative to conduct a comprehensive trade mark search before filing for a trade mark.
Any natural or legal person may apply for a trademark in Australia. Collective trademarks — i.e. trade marks owned by an organization — are permitted. As a common law country, Australia uses the first-to-use policy when determining trademark ownership. Therefore, just because a trademark has not been registered doesn’t mean there will be no basis for opposition after it is published. Also, there are extensive regulations in place regarding the registration of certain marks (e.g. wine trademarks) and also a fairly persnickety set of rules for registering other marks (e.g. motion marks). It is therefore vital to use expert assistance to ensure that the trademark you wish to officially register has not been used before in the Commonwealth of Australia.
Our trade mark registration package takes care of everything you need to register your trade mark in Australia, including advice on strategy and classification.
