Trademark Management in Australia: Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Australia offers a robust and efficient trademark system administered by IP Australia, governed by the Trade Marks Act 1995. As a member of the Madrid Protocol, Australia allows international trademark registrations, facilitating streamlined protection for foreign applicants.
Managing trademarks in Australia involves timely updates of owner information, handling ownership changes, appointing legal representatives if necessary, and addressing oppositions to safeguard your brand’s exclusivity. Liesegang & Partner supports clients with expert trademark management services tailored to the Australian market.
