The Importance of Trademark Registration
Trademarks can be used to identify and distinguish your brand or business in a competitive market.
For any business that has invested time, effort, and resources into creating a trademark for their business, it’s logical to keep that protected from your competitors.
A registered trademark in Australia secures your exclusive right to use it for a period of 10-years. Once that time has elapsed, you can then renew your trademark to continue to protect your brand.
Registering your trademark means securing your exclusive right to use your brand materials and protect your brand from competitors that may try to copy your business. Trademark registration also provides legal recourse to pursue damages for any company that uses your trademark.

Trade Mark Law FAQs
How do I register a trademark in Australia?
You file a trademark application with IP Australia nominating the classes of goods or services you want to protect. The application is examined, advertised for opposition, and if unopposed proceeds to registration. The process typically takes 7–13 months.
What is the difference between a trademark and a business name?
A business name registration gives you no exclusive rights to use that name. A registered trademark gives you exclusive rights to use your mark in connection with your nominated goods and services across Australia and the right to take legal action against infringers.
How long does a trademark last in Australia?
A registered trademark lasts 10 years from the filing date and can be renewed indefinitely in 10-year intervals, provided it is being used in commerce in connection with the registered goods or services.
Can I stop someone from using a name similar to mine?
If your trademark is registered, you can take action for infringement against confusingly similar marks and oppose similar trademark applications during the opposition period. HG Law advises on enforcement strategy and represents clients in IP Australia proceedings.
What happens if my trademark application is opposed?
The matter proceeds before IP Australia Hearings and Mediation. Both parties file evidence and submissions. HG Law represents clients in trademark opposition proceedings and advises on the most cost-effective resolution strategy.
