About IP Australia
IP Australia is the federal government agency responsible for administering
Australia’s patents, trade marks, designs and plant breeder’s
rights systems. A division of the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, IP Australia is committed to maintaining a strong
intellectual property system which promotes innovation, investment

About Trade Marks Searching Courses
There are many factors worth considering when investigating trade mark registration,
including determining whether it has the capacity to function as a trade mark
itself and whether something similar already exists on the Trade Marks Register.
The Australian Trade Marks On-line Search System (ATMOSS) allows users to conduct
searches using a range of criteria. It is designed to help you search for similar
Trade Marks and is used by Trade Mark examiners in their assessment of Trade
Marks for registration.
In this course we explore what information is available on ATMOSS and how to
use the system effectively to find similar trade marks. We show you how to conduct
efficient and thorough searches of the Trade Marks database using tips, strategies
and specialised searching tools.
Objectives
After this course you will be able to more easily:
- Find useful information on the ATMOSS database;
- Use search options and tools effectively;
- Devise effective and efficient search strategies to find conflicting word and
device trade marks; and
- Search the Madrid Express database concerning international registrations.
