Trade Mark Attorneys, Applications & Registrations
A trade mark is a sign that distinguishes goods and services of one trader from another. Trade marks can be logos, signatures, letters, numerals, aspects of packaging, shapes of products and packaging, scents, colours and sounds.
When you register your trade mark, others are prevented from using a substantially identical or deceptively similar trade mark in relation to the goods and services for which the trade mark is registered. This is the case even if the trade mark has no reputation, is yet to be used or the unauthorised use is in a completely different industry or market and is not confusing.
Our trade mark attorneys practice in both Australia and New Zealand and have access to an established network of international Associates with strengths in specific technical areas. This enables us to offer expert advice and services to any foreign jurisdiction, particularly within the United States and Europe.
