What Happens After You File a Trademark Application in Australia?
Description
Once you file your Trademark Application Australia, the process doesn’t end there. Here's what happens next.
6.1 Examination by IP Australia
The first step after submission is examination by IP Australia. The examiner checks your trademark for compliance with the legal requirements. This includes assessing its distinctiveness and ensuring it doesn’t conflict with other registered marks.
6.2 Publication and Opposition Period
If your application passes the examination, it will be published in the Australian Official Journal of Trade Marks. During this period, third parties can oppose your application if they believe it conflicts with their rights.
6.3 Registration
If no opposition is raised, and your trademark is accepted, it will be registered, and you’ll receive exclusive rights to use it in Australia for ten years, with the option to renew.
You must log in or register a new account in order to contact the publisher
