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.
Trademarks can come in various forms, each playing a vital role in brand recognition. The most common types of trademarks include:
Trade marks are more than just symbols of your brand – they are legal assets that require careful protection.

A registered trademark gives you legal power to stop others from using the same or a similar mark for the same goods or services.
Words, logos, shapes and even sounds can be registered if they identify your goods or services.
The mark must be distinctive for the classes you choose.
Not always. You can use different trading names or brands.
If you want protection, register each mark you use.
A registration grants you exclusive rights in Australia for 10 years.
You can renew it indefinitely every 10 years as long as you continue using the mark.
You can file separate applications for the logo and the word, or a combined application if you use them together.
We advise the best approach to balance protection and cost.
Yes. Third parties can file oppositions after publication, but this is generally rare.
