What if there’s an objection?

During the acceptance process, if an objection arises, it is 4 months after applying for a standard trademark application. 

Our Trademark Lawyers will quote you to review and prepare submissions, if it occurs.

If an objection occurs there are generally these steps:

1. Review the objection(s) and identify if they are legally correct, advise you accordingly.
2. Advise you of any infringement ramifications and what you should do.
3. Prepare and lodge a legal submission and make amendments to the Trademark Application (if needed).
4. Wait 1-2 months for the Trademark Office Assessor to reconsider.

Our Trademark Lawyers have a high success rate in overcoming objections. Our value comes from experience in preparing and lodging persuasive submissions, sometimes even overcoming the toughest of objections without compromising or restricting the scope of Trademark applications.

Trademark Application Form

After submission of the form, our firm will commence drafting an application which meets the requirements or conducting searches. We recommend the Pack 2 as our searches go well beyond what the Trademark Office does.

We back our searches with significant IP insurance, in case of litigation. This is NOT what IP Australia can offer or does.

For those concerned about the risk of infringing, we offer a prior Pack 1 or Pack 2 conflict search assessment.

For searches, we do what A.I. and online automated Trademark Checkers can’t do – our lawyers assess whether the list of trademarks is really an issue or not.

Don’t find out later, the hard way, that the information you were given wasn’t legally correct or explained well enough to understand the risk. 

Don’t delay

You never know when a third party may be lodging a deceptively similar or phonetic brand to yours. They may get in first as its application date – first come first served.

The Trademark Office will reject the second applicant even if the trademarks are not exactly the same.

Federal Court action may be taken by the person first to trademark.

Our Services

In the longer run, it could cost you dearly if some legal details are missing, or not quite right.

We see all too often business owners trying it themselves or get enticed to use cheap inexperienced websites. Sadly, what is lodged is full of errors and gaps.

We’ve also seen clear trademarks which were unregistrable being lodged. Rather, the trademark should have been abandoned and no application should have been lodged.

Our firm only offers premium Trademark Lawyer services. We know the hidden surprises that stem in the longer term from quickly drafted and lodged trademark applications. We’ve seen the headaches when a company loses their trademark registration years later.
