Trade Mark Adverse Report Advice

When a business applies to register a trade mark, the application must go through a process with IP Australia. If you receive an Adverse Report, it means your application has been rejected for the reasons set out in the report.

For example, a trade mark may be rejected if it is too similar to an existing mark or considered too generic. If your business has received an Adverse Report, our lawyers can walk you through your options. Reach out to our team about our trade Mark Adverse Report Advice package.

Trade marks are a form of intellectual property protection. If you want something to legally belong to your business, such as a logo or even a scent, it is generally best to register a trade mark with IP Australia. This involves a specific process, but our lawyers can help. Trade marks are a common way to protect IP because they are registered with IP Australia, and once approved, no one else can use them. In some cases, businesses may also choose to register their business name as a trade mark for a good level of protection against competitors.

Our package starts from $400 + GST and includes:

• A review of the Adverse Report from IP Australia
• Phone consultations with a Sprintlaw lawyer who will advise you on the legal issues that apply to you
• A high-level written summary of the report, highlighting key issues and options for addressing the issues raised by IP Australia
