Are You Certain All Aspects Of Your Business Are Fully Protected Under Intellectual Property Law?
Your business may not (yet) be the size of Apple (with its fruit logo) or as recognisable as Mercedes-Benz (with its star emblem), but that doesn’t mean it’s safe from a trademark dispute.
Choose the wrong name, graphic, or even colour (like Tiffany blue), and you could find yourself on the expensive end of a lawsuit. And be forced to lose a business you’ve poured your life into.
And without proper intellectual property protection in place, you may be devastated to discover your business is worth very little when it comes time to sell.

Or at least talk over the phone. So we can get to know you and your business. And give you the holistic support you need to be fully protected. Here’s how we do it:

Frequently Asked Questions About Intellectual Property Law And IP Lawyers
What types of intellectual property can you protect with a trade mark?
Trade marks can be applied to many things including names, logos, phrases/words, colours, and even sounds, smells, shapes.
How much does it cost to get a trade mark?
The cost of registering a trade mark depends on the classes for which you are seeking protection. As a guide, trade marks usually start around $2,000. However, the more critical question is: How much do you stand to lose without the protection provided by a trade mark?
How long does it take to get a trade mark approved?
Lodgement can be done within 48 hours. You should receive an initial answer within 5-10 working days. Final global approval takes around 90 days.
What if someone else already has my name, logo, colour etc.?
You can’t use it. That’s why it’s important to secure your own trade mark – to prevent others from using your assets (and so they can’t prevent you from using them).
Can you arrange a trade mark yourself?
Not easily. And why would you when it will likely cost you more time, effort and opportunity cost (not to mention the risk of potential mistakes) than it would to contract a specialist who deals in this complex area of law every day.
Do you need a specialist lP lawyer to arrange a trade mark?
Technically, no. But like everything: The devil is in the details. And when it comes to intellectual property, the details can literally make or break your business and brand.
