The Trademark Application Australia process varies significantly between countries. Understanding these differences can help you navigate trademark protection globally.
Australia’s System
In Australia, trademarks are governed by IP Australia. The application process is relatively straightforward, but it requires that you correctly identify the goods or services your trademark applies to. Once approved, your trademark lasts for 10 years, with the option to renew indefinitely.
Comparing with Other Countries
In contrast, other countries like the United States require more detailed descriptions of your mark’s use in commerce. In the European Union, a single application can cover multiple countries, which differs from Australia’s more country-specific system. The LexGeneris team can help you understand how these differences impact your international trademark strategy.
