Entering the Australian market is an exciting opportunity—but also a highly competitive business environment.
Protecting your brand with an Australian trademark registration is a crucial first step to building a strong foundation for growth and success.
Why Register Your Trademark in Australia?
An Australian trademark registration gives you:
- Exclusive nationwide rights to use your brand for your goods or services.
- The legal tools to stop copycats and counterfeiters anywhere in Australia.
- The ability to take action in Australian courts to enforce your rights.
- Border protection by recording your trademark with Australian Customs to stop counterfeit imports.
- The right to use the ® symbol, showing that your brand is officially protected.
In short, an Australian trademark is one of the most valuable assets your business can own.
How the Process Works
We guide you through every step of the Australian trademark process:
- Search & Advice – Checking if your brand can be registered and is clear to use.
- Application Filing – Preparing and lodging your application with IP Australia.
- Examination & Publication – Managing examiner reports, objections, and the opposition process.
- Registration & Beyond – Securing your registration and advising on renewals, enforcement, and brand strategy.
What You Should Know About Australian Trademarks
- Use is important: While you don’t need to show use when filing, you must use your trademark in commerce to keep it valid.
- Strict rules apply: IP Australia carefully examines trademarks to avoid confusion with existing brands.
- Foreign applicants: If you’re outside Australia, you must appoint an Australian representative to manage your application and communications.
