Frequently Asked Questions

Why and How Do You Register a Trademark in Australia?

Registering a trademark in Australia is not legally required to obtain rights, since prior use of a mark can still provide some level of protection. However, trademark registration in Australia is strongly recommended if you want full, enforceable ownership over your brand name, business name, product name, logo, or other brand elements.

A registered trademark grants exclusive rights nationwide, helping you stop competitors from using similar branding and giving you stronger legal standing in case of infringement. It also reinforces your commercial identity, builds customer trust, and protects your presence on online marketplaces and platforms. Registration in Australia automatically extends protection to Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Nauru, and Norfolk Island.

Trademarks are administered by IP Australia under the Trade Marks Act of 1995. You can file directly with IP Australia or apply through the Madrid System, since Australia is a member of the Madrid Protocol.

In Australia, you can trademark a business name, trademark a product name, protect a logo, a catch phrase, specific colors, shapes, or even a scent, as long as they serve to identify your brand.

For most businesses, especially those expanding or selling online, registering a trademark in Australia is one of the most effective ways to secure and grow your brand long-term.

What Documents are Required for Trademark Registration in Australia?

When applying for trademark Australia, no documents are required at the very beginning of the process. You can file a trademark application in Australia without submitting a power of attorney, and in most cases there is no need to provide supporting documents upfront.

However, if you are a foreign applicant, you must be represented by a local Australian trademark agent in order to proceed. Depending on your case and how your brand is used, you may later be asked for additional information such as ID details, product labels, logos, or proof of use.

If any extra documents are needed, your iGERENT consultant will clearly explain what is required and when, guiding you step by step so the documentation process remains simple and stress-free.

How Long Does it Take to Register a Trademark in Australia?

The average trademark registration process in Australia takes approximately 8 months for straightforward cases, based on current examination timelines. However, real-world durations can vary depending on IP Australia’s workload, the complexity of your application, and whether any objections or oppositions arise.

While the process can take several months, your dedicated trademark agent will keep you updated at every stage of the process, making sure you never miss a deadline, request, or important notice from the office.

What Happens after the Trademark Registration Process in Australia is Completed?

After approval, you receive your registration certificate and gain exclusive rights to your mark in Australia. Once a trademark successfully completes examination, it is published in the Australian official journal of trade marks. If no successful opposition is filed, the trademark will proceed to registration, and IP Australia issues a digital certificate of registration.

A registered trademark in Australia is valid for 10 years from the application date. To keep it active, it must be renewed every 10 years, and renewals should be processed during the year before the expiration date. Late renewals are still possible within a 6-month grace period, but additional fees will apply.

Remember: trademarks require renewal to stay active. To simplify future renewals and avoid missing any deadlines, explore our Trademark Renewal Service in Australia.

Can I Oppose Someone Else’s Trademark Application in Australia?

Yes. Once a mark passes examination, it is published in the Australian trade mark journal, and from the publication date there is a 2-month period to oppose the trademark.

During this opposition period, third parties can challenge an application on grounds such as similarity, prior use, or likelihood of confusion if they believe the mark affects their existing trademark rights. The chances of success in an opposition depend on the specific circumstances of each case.

If you believe an application conflicts with your rights in Australia, we can review your situation and guide you through the full opposition procedure.

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Australia?

In Australia, it is not necessary to use a trademark before filing or during the application process. However, once registered, a mark that remains unused for 5 consecutive years may become vulnerable to cancellation actions for non-use.

Effective use of the trademark can also help overcome objections based on lack of distinctiveness, since distinctiveness may be acquired through use in Australia.

If you register with iGERENT, your consultant will request any evidence you may need and help manage these requirements for you, ensuring your trademark remains protected.

How Can I Register a Three-Dimensional (3D) Trademark in Australia?

Australia recognizes 3D trademarks, so you can protect distinctive product shapes and packaging when the shape itself identifies your brand.

When registering a 3D mark in Australia, you should usually:

  • Include multiple views of the shape (for example, front, side and top views).
  • Clearly indicate any colors claimed in the design.

Examiners scrutinize 3D trademarks very closely for distinctiveness. If the 3D sign is not inherently distinctive, they may request evidence of market use to prove acquired distinctiveness.

If you're considering protecting a 3D shape in Australia, contact us for a free, no-obligation review of your case so we can assess your options and guide you through the requirements.
