Trade Mark lodgement.
For many businesses their brand name is one of their most valuable assets.
Your business name, logo or brand identity may represent years of effort building reputation and recognition. However, many business owners are surprised to learn that registering a business name does not automatically protect the brand itself.
That protection usually comes through a registered trade mark.
Here at BestLife Legal we assist clients throughout Queensland with trade mark searches, applications and lodgement through IP Australia so business owners can protect their brands properly.
If you are unsure whether a trade mark may be appropriate for your business, simply email us and we'll get back to you for a free 15-minute chat.
The trade mark application process.
Trade marks in Australia are registered through IP Australia.
The process generally involves identifying the mark to be protected, selecting the relevant goods or services classes, lodging the application examination by IP Australia and responding to examiner reports.
If the application is accepted it is then advertised before registration is finalised. The process can take several months from start to finish.
At BestLife Legal we guide our clients through this process from start to finish.
