What is a Trade Mark ?

A trade mark is a form of intellectual property protected both through registered and common law rights.

​

A business owner may, for example, register words and images associated with its goods, services or brand.

By registering a trade mark:

​

• you gain exclusive proprietary rights in the mark

• you are able to prevent the registration by someone else of an identical or deceptively similar mark

• it helps others to identify your mark in searches so they know in advance that your mark is registered and that you have exclusive rights to the mark

• the IP right adds value to your business, especially where the brand generates goodwill

• it gives you the ability to licence or franchise your rights in the mark in return for a fee

• it places you in a stronger position to defend against any infringement against your mark

​​

In order to be registered in Australia, the mark must meet certain requirements as set out in the Trade Marks Act 1995 (Cth). 

​

Once registered, the trademark owner can use the ® symbol beside the trademark protected word or logo.

A trademark is usually registered for 10 years. After which the trademark can be re-registered for further periods of 10 years each.

​

Trade mark registration in Australia does not automatically provide IP protection overseas. Business owner's looking to promote their business, goods or services overseas will need to register trade marks in those countries where they wish to trade.
