How Long Does Trade Mark Registration Last?

Trade Mark registration lasts for 10 years initially, but it can be renewed indefinitely for 10-year periods after that. In that sense, Trade Mark registration is a powerful right compared to design or patent registration, both of which have finite terms.

Can I Use My Trade Mark Before It Is Registered?

Yes, and provided we have undertaken a clearance search and identified any possible infringement risks, it is recommended that you do so. Once registered, your Trade Mark will be enforceable from the time you file, not the time your Trade Mark registration certificate is issued.

What Can A Qualified Trade Marks Attorney Do?

There are many cut-rate “assisted filing” services operating in Australia who will simply file whatever you’d like without guidance or consideration, including Trade Marks which clearly have no prospect of registration or which would not be enforceable even if registered. Those services rely on volume of turnover (and high costs to deal with any inevitable objections) and do not offer any value beyond what you’d get by filing yourself.

We do not offer that type of service. Our role is to work with you to identify what is and isn’t worth registering and to identify and account for any potential obstacles to registration of your mark before you apply. This way we can ensure that your Trade Mark has a clear path to registration and that there are strong strategies implemented at the outset to deal with any foreseeable issues with your application.

Can I Register a Trade Mark Myself?

Yes, but you may end up wasting your money. Working out how to register a Trade Mark in Australia can be difficult depending on the nature of your application, as certain factors can complicate the process and lead to rejection. Having a lawyer’s assistance will ensure a smooth application.

Each week, there are approximately 700-800 Trade Mark applications which are rejected by IP Australia either due to procedural or substantive problems. Many of those applications are self-filed and contain problems which could have easily been avoided or fixed before filing.

IP Australia does not refund filing fees for failed applications. Therefore, it’s important to know what you are trying to protect and why you want to protect it in order to put together an effective application which will not only be registered but will also be enforceable when you need it.

The Trade Marks Register is littered with countless examples of applications which never stood a chance of registration or which are registered but entirely unenforceable. A Trade Mark lawyer or registered Trade Marks Attorney is the best person to ensure that your application is filed and managed properly.
