What do trade mark attorneys do?
Trade mark attorneys typically have qualifications that allow them to specialise in trade marks, and they undergo specific training in intellectual property. To register as a trademark attorney, candidates must demonstrate their knowledge of intellectual property law and its practical application through a series of accredited courses.
Essentially, trade mark attorneys prepare applications for trade mark registration and advise clients on using the trade mark and any other factors that may arise, such as intellectual property advice and trade mark rights. The services our expert trade mark lawyers provide are outlined below.

What are trade marks?.
A trademark is a type of intellectual property that helps distinguish and protect the identity of a brand, company, or individual. It acts as a unique identifier, making it easier for people to recognise and associate products or services with a specific source. A common mistake people make is thinking that registering your business or company name gives you rights to that name, but this is not true – a trade mark is the only way to legally monopolise a name, so capturing your business name with a suitable trade mark should be done simultaneously with registering with ASIC. Failing to do so may result in losing the right to use your business name, even if it’s registered with ASIC.
These various forms of trademarks work together to protect a brand's identity and ensure that its reputation remains distinct and recognisable in the marketplace.
Trademarks can come in various forms, each playing a vital role in brand recognition. The most common types of trademarks include:
- Slogans: Catchphrases or taglines that encapsulate a brand's message or ethos.
- Logos: Visual symbols or designs that represent the brand or company.
- Shapes: Distinctive packaging or product shapes that are uniquely associated with a brand.
- Sounds: Specific tunes, jingles, or other auditory markers that consumers identify with a company or product.
- Smells: Unique scents that can evoke brand recognition, often used in products like perfumes or scented packaging.
