    The day you submit your application is also your 'priority date' in most cases. If someone submits an application for a trade mark similar to yours that has a later priority date, their application cannot block your own.

    4 months

    After you pay, your application is formally examined which takes up to 4 months. If there are any problems, you’ll be given 15 months to overcome them.

  • step icon
    Up to 5 months

    If there are no problems your application enters a waiting period to comply with international agreements. The final step is a 2 month 'opposition period'. Anyone can oppose your trade mark if they have a legitimate reason (only a small percentage are opposed).

    If no-one opposes your trade mark, it will be registered. Initial registration lasts 10 years from the date you paid your lodgement fee.
