Registering a trademark in Australia is a statutory process administered by the Intellectual Property Office of Australia (IP Australia). Below are detailed notes and frequently asked questions designed to help you systematically and effectively complete the registration and protect your rights.
Official Database Search: A professional search must be conducted in IP Australia's ATMOSS database. Australian examiners will proactively conduct relative grounds reviews, meaning they will proactively reject applications that conflict with prior trademarks.
Common Law Right Search: Australian law recognizes "common law trademark rights" (rights to unregistered trademarks) established through commercial use. Therefore, market searches must be conducted on the internet, social media, and business directories to avoid infringing on the prior use rights of others.
If there has been no use for three consecutive years, any third party may apply to the Federal Court or IP Australia for "disqualification due to non-use."
File your application early: Australia operates on a "first-to-file" basis. Even if there has been no use, an application can be filed based on "intended use" to establish priority.
