About Trademark Registration

A trademark identifies the commercial source of goods or services. Registration can protect a distinctive name, logo or other eligible mark for the specified goods and services. The work starts with ownership and classification, then continues through application, examination and publication before a registration decision.

What you get

Brand identity — Connect a distinctive mark with the specified goods or services.
Ownership record — Create an official record of the registered proprietor and scope.
Commercial asset — A trademark may be licensed or assigned under documented arrangements.
Protection framework — Registration supports statutory rights, subject to the law and the scope of registration.

Who this is for

  • Identify the correct owner: an individual, proprietor, partnership, company or other eligible applicant.
  • Choose a distinctive mark and describe the actual goods or services. A company name reservation is not a trademark search.
  • Decide whether the application claims existing use or is proposed to be used. Any claimed earlier use must be supported.

Documents required

We send this as a single written checklist so you are not chased for documents one at a time.

1Applicant and authorisation — Correct legal name, entity or identity records, address and an authorisation or power of attorney where an agent is appointed.
2Trademark particulars — Word mark or clear logo representation, application or registration number where available, classes and a precise description of goods or services.
3Evidence of use — Where prior use is claimed, organise a truthful user affidavit and relevant invoices, packaging, advertisements or other dated evidence.
4Fee-category evidence — Valid startup or small-enterprise supporting records if claiming the applicable concessional official fee category.
5Business ownership — Incorporation certificate, partnership deed or other records confirming the applicant's legal identity. A brand used by a company should not be filed in the wrong owner's name.
6Special mark details — Translation, transliteration, colour claims or other explanations may be needed for the particular mark.

After the filing

What stays your responsibility once this is done.

  • Retain the filing acknowledgement and monitor examination and publication.
  • Use the registered symbol only when entitled to do so after registration, for the relevant mark and coverage.
  • Track renewal, proprietor details and changes in ownership. Maintain evidence of genuine use.
  • New classes, territories or materially different logos may require additional applications.

How the process works

  1. 1

    Identify the owner and mark

    Confirm what is being protected and who owns it.

  2. 2

    Search and classify

    Review relevant database results and select appropriate goods and service classes. A search reduces uncertainty but cannot guarantee acceptance.

  3. 3

    Prepare TM-A

    Compile the representation, applicant details, use claim and authorisation.

  4. 4

    Review and file

    Obtain approval of the application and submit with the applicable per-class fees.

  5. 5

    Track examination

    Monitor official correspondence. Objection responses and hearings are separately scoped where needed.

  6. 6

    Publication and decision

    An accepted application proceeds through publication and the applicable opposition stage before registration can be granted.
