and unpleasant experience. If your trade mark is important or you hope

stage of choosing a trade mark. Trade mark searching for the
availability of a trade mark is an extremely difficult and time
consuming project. It involves a good understanding of what is a
deceptively similar trade mark under the relevant laws. This area is a
minefield for the inexperienced trade mark attorney, let alone for the
do it yourself person. Do not trade the cost of engaging an experienced
trade mark attorney for the sake of avoiding the cost of a proper trade
mark search. Also, avoid cheap trade mark searches, as there is reason
why such a search is cheap!
- A trade mark attorney’s input into preparing
the coverage of a trade mark application and making sure that the
application is in its most desirable

logo or a word and how best to protect such a trade mark should be a
question left for an experience attorney.
- A trade mark attorney having extensive
experience is best equipped to handle any objections raised by the
Trade Marks Office. Making an error in how you approach an objection to
your trade mark can have ramifications for the protection of your trade
mark down the track.
- A trade mark attorney is of vital assistance in
protecting your trade mark in the market place. Also an experience
attorney is essential where you are under threat from another trade
mark owner alleging that your trade mark infringes its trade mark
registration.

you want to sell or licence your trade mark. Having a strong trade mark
by employing the services of an experienced trade mark attorney is an
important ingredient in determining whether your trade mark is more
than just a trade mark and has in fact become a valuable asset, making
the trade mark a desirable commodity.
