Trademark Frequently Asked Questions
Registering your trademarks tells the world that you have the right to use that trade mark to distinguish your brand in relation to your goods and services. This makes it more difficult for competitors to claim that they have rights to use similar trademarks. It also allows you to enforce your trade mark rights against others, protecting your business’s goodwill. It also gives you peace of mind that you are not infringing other people’s trademarks to avoid having to rebrand at a later time. Plus, having registered trademarks in place adds value to your business should you wish to sell your business in the future.
We recommend registering your trade mark as soon as possible for a few reasons.
Firstly, you never want to put yourself in a position where you have built goodwill and reputation in your brand, only to have another business claim that they own the trademark, requiring you to negotiate to either co-existent or completely re-brand.
Secondly, registrations with an earlier filing date will trump later registrations which will protect you from new competitors wanting to leverage off your brand.
As your trademark and branding lawyer, we can help you navigate this.
We understand that cost is an important consideration when deciding whether to engage legal services. We offer fixed fees for most trademark matters, including filing trademark applications, drafting licensing and assignment agreements and managing trademark renewals.
However, opposition and dispute matters can vary in cost depending on the complexity of your matter. Contact our trademark and branding lawyers for a free consultation to discuss your scope of work where we can give you a fee estimate straight away.
Our trademark watching service includes monitoring your registered trademark and its goods and services and providing notifications to you to inform you if there have been any similar trade mark applications that may potentially infringe your trademark.
It can be a great way to keep on top of copycat competitors and discourage similar brands which could confuse your customers.
We offer watching services in Australia and worldwide at reasonable fixed fees, which vary depending on the scope of service that you require. Contact us for a no-obligation quote.
