Country-specific decision
Eligible ownership and an Australian examination path
An Australian application must name an owner with legal personality and define the goods and services. A standard application is examined and, if accepted, published before registration.
- The owner must have legal personality; a business name or trading name alone cannot own the registration.
- The application identifies the mark and the particular goods and services for which protection is requested.
- Acceptance is advertised for opposition, and registration cannot occur before the statutory minimum period has passed.
