Trade Marks  

What if there are problems with my application?

If there are any issues that need to be addressed, you will be sent a report. You should reply and address the matters that have been raised.

You may ring the examiner to discuss your application and how you might proceed with it. However, IP Australia staff cannot give you legal advice on what are essentially business decisions. You may choose to seek professional advice from registered patent and trade mark attorneys or solicitors.
