International Trade Mark Advice (Provisional Refusal)

Dealing with a provisional refusal can be complex and requires a clear understanding of the legal grounds for refusal and the best ways to respond. Our team can help you assess the reasons for the refusal, gather the necessary documentation, and prepare a strong response to maximise the chances of approval.

This support is important because it helps protect your trade mark globally and safeguard your brand and business interests.

Our package starts from $800 + GST. We’ll analyse your provisional refusal notice and prepare written advice. This package includes:

• Written advice addressing the refusal, including an explanation of the objections, the options available to overcome them, and the expected costs to implement the recommendations
• Complimentary phone consultations of up to 30 minutes with a Sprintlaw lawyer to answer your questions about the advice

Yes. We can review the provisional refusal, explain what the objections mean, and advise on practical next steps for your international trade mark application. If a response needs to be filed in the overseas country, this often involves local trade mark rules and may require working with a local associate or attorney in that jurisdiction.

We handle everything by phone, email and video call, so you never need to visit an office. Once you request a quote, one of our legally trained consultants will get back to you within one business day with a fixed-fee proposal. If you accept, we will pair you with a specialist lawyer who will guide you through the process. All documents are delivered digitally, and you can communicate with your lawyer in the way that suits you best. It is the same quality legal advice you would get from a traditional firm, just without the commute, hourly billing surprises or the formality.
