A trade mark is a form of intellectual property protection in Australia that allows you to legally secure the exclusive rights to a recognisable sign, design, or expression associated with your brand. This could be a business name, logo, slogan, or even a specific sound or shape that distinguishes your products or services from those of competitors.
Registering a trade mark gives you the exclusive right to use, license, and protect your brand element across Australia. It helps prevent others from using similar signs or designs that could cause confusion or dilute your brand’s identity.
You can apply for a trade mark to protect various aspects of your brand, such as:
A trade mark provides a strong foundation for building brand recognition and can add significant value to your business by establishing a clear and legally enforceable identity.
Registering a trade mark is essential if you want to protect the unique elements of your brand, such as your business name, logo, or slogan. Here are some key reasons why a trade mark is valuable:
In summary, registering a trade mark gives you the power to build and protect a strong brand identity, secure legal rights, and enhance the value of your business. It’s a good idea to consider applying for a trade mark as early as possible to safeguard your brand’s future.
In Australia, a trade mark registration is valid for 10 years from the date it is filed. After this period, you can renew your trade mark for additional 10-year periods, as long as you continue to pay the renewal fees.
There is no limit on the number of times you can renew your trade mark, meaning you can maintain your exclusive rights to the mark indefinitely, as long as you renew it on time. This allows you to keep protecting your brand’s identity and reputation for as long as you need.
If you need help managing your trade mark renewals or want to ensure your trade mark remains active, our expert lawyers can assist you with the process.
Our fixed-fee Trade Mark Headstart Packages start at $1030 + GST. This includes an application to register your trade mark, phone consultations with a Sprintlaw lawyer, and IP Australia fees associated with registering your trademark.
This process typically involves the following:
Step 1: We’ll hold an initial consultation to ensure you have all information required to proceed with the application.
Step 2: We’ll apply to IP Australia using TM Headstart (to register 1 trade mark in 1 class for you).
Step 3: If Step 2 is successful, we will apply to IP Australia for a 10-year trade mark registration on your behalf.
