BUDGET AUSTRALIAN TRADEMARK APPLICATIONS
A
trademark application is the official document filed with the
government office requesting your trademark become registered. All
government departments take many months to examine these
applications before they provide the results.
When
filing an application, we must notify the relevant government
office of the "classes'' you are requesting
registration in. A class is essentially a category of goods or
services. Most countries work on the same class system, which has
45 classes in total. All products and services will fall into one
of these classes.
If you
have a search conducted prior to registering a trademark we will
provide you with our recommendation as to which of these45 classesare relevant to
your products and/or services.
In
Australia there are two types of filing systems you can use. Under
the Budget Services Structure, only the Specific Filing System will
apply. For details of the two systems, please read our full
