Vladimir Isaev works with Bonamark assisting companies seeking trademark protection in Australia. Since 2016, he has filed more than 492 trademark applications for international clients. His work focuses on helping businesses secure and manage trademark rights in the Australian market.
Trademark registration in Australia protects a brand through the national trademark system administered by IP Australia. Bonamark helps businesses prepare and file Australian trademark applications. The service can include a pre-filing search, class selection, and support during examination.
IP Australia states that registration generally gives stronger protection than relying on an unregistered trademark. Registration lasts for 10 years before renewal, and the process takes at least seven months. See the official IP Australia trademarks overview.
Registration can support enforcement, licensing, franchising, investment, distribution, marketplace protection, and long-term brand management. It is especially relevant for businesses selling or planning to sell products or services in Australia.
Government fees depend on the filing method. The number of classes also affects the total. IP Australia’s current official fee calculator lists these common online options:
| Application option | Official fee | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| Standard application using picklist | AUD 250 per class | Lowest standard online filing fee. |
| Standard application without picklist | AUD 400 per class | Used where custom goods/services descriptions are required. |
| TM Headstart | AUD 200 per class initially + AUD 130 per class conversion | Total AUD 330 per class if converted to a standard application. |
Confirm current government amounts on the IP Australia Trademark Price Calculator. Bonamark professional fees should be displayed separately in the site’s existing price block.
IP Australia recommends searching existing marks first. Bonamark can perform an Australia trademark search to identify identical and similar marks.
The application must identify the person or legal entity that owns the mark.
Australia uses 45 classes. Government fees are charged per class.
The application names the owner and shows the mark. It also defines the covered products or services and includes payment. See IP Australia’s official application guide.
Standard applications are usually examined in around three to four months.
If issues arise, IP Australia may issue an examination report. Its official guidance states applicants generally have 15 months to resolve the issues.
If accepted, the application is published for a two-month opposition period.
If no successful opposition prevents registration, the mark proceeds to registration.
International businesses can seek Australian protection, but a national application generally requires an address for service in Australia or New Zealand. Bonamark can help coordinate filing and local representation requirements.
IP Australia states that the overall registration process takes at least seven months. Examination, the two-month opposition period, and any objections can make the process longer.
The initial term is 10 years from the filing date. It can be renewed for further 10-year periods.
A search evaluates risk; registration is the formal legal application. Businesses that have not checked availability should usually begin with an Australia trademark search. For a step-by-step overview, see How to Register a Trademark in Australia.
A standard online application using the IP Australia picklist starts at AUD 250 per class. Other filing routes and extra classes cost more. Bonamark professional fees are separate.
At least seven months, according to IP Australia, although objections or opposition can extend the process.
Ten years from filing, renewable for further ten-year periods.
Yes. Foreign applicants may seek Australian protection but generally need an address for service in Australia or New Zealand for a national application.
