Protection


Business name protection:
Registering your business or company name as a trademark gives you legal rights to your name within Australia, and prevents others from trading under the same name.

A trademark can be a letter, word, phrase, number, sound, smell, shape, logo, picture, aspect of packaging or a combination of these. It can be used as a marketing tool to distinguish your goods and services from those of your competitors.

Tip: It is cheaper to apply for a trademark online.

Warning: It takes at least 6 months to register a trademark.

For more information on registering a trademark, visit the IP Australia website.
