Trade mark infringement occurs when another party uses your registered trademark without permission, potentially causing harm to your brand. The Trade Mark Register Process provides the legal framework for identifying and addressing infringement.

What to Do if Infringement Occurs:

1. Cease and Desist: Contact the infringing party to request they stop using your trade mark.

2. Legal Action: If the infringement persists, you can take legal action through the courts.

3. IP Australia Involvement: You can file a complaint with IP Australia if the infringement involves other registered marks.

The trade mark process can take several months, and delays are often caused by errors in the application, insufficient documentation, or issues with the classification of goods and services. However, with the right preparation, you can minimize these delays.

How to Avoid Delays:

1. Complete Application: Ensure all required information is included and correct.

2. Accurate Classification: Correctly classify your goods or services to avoid objections.

3. Thorough Search: Conduct a comprehensive search to avoid conflicts with existing trade marks.

At LexGeneris, we help you streamline your application process to avoid common pitfalls and expedite registration.
