The starting point
Understand the position.
A business name and a registered trademark serve different purposes. Trademark work considers the proposed mark, its use and the goods or services it identifies.
We assist with searches, classification, applications and related correspondence. Registration depends on the applicable process and the Registry’s assessment.
How we can help
- Preliminary searches for similar marks
- Discussion of relevant classes of goods and services
- Trademark application preparation and filing support
- Responses to examination objections within the engagement
- Renewal, assignment and related trademark documentation
What to have ready
This is a starting list. The exact documents depend on your circumstances and the agreed work.
- Applicant identity or company registration documents
- A clear copy of the proposed mark or logo
- Description of the goods and services
- Details of existing use, if any
- Relevant authorizations and earlier correspondence
