Early in 2019, IP Australia sought public comment on the exposure draft of regulations to amend the Trade Marks Regulations 1995 to allow division of IRDAs. Noting that there is currently no international requirement to make this change now, IP Australia is not intending to seek the making of the amending regulations in the near future.
IP Australia proposes to conduct a holistic review of trade mark timeframe issues (including divisional timing) in the future when the implementation of the Government’s response to the Productivity Commission’s review of Australia’s IP arrangements is complete. We will consider the issue of division of IRDAs as part of that review.
We will continue to keep stakeholders informed on any activities concerning the division of IRDAs. Details of previous consultation are available on the consultation page.
