With our very budget-friendly trademark search.
TRADEMARK SEARCH
Before you invest in a trademark application, it’s important to do some preliminary checks to see if your brand is available to be registered. A trademark search is done to find any conflicting trade marks. A conflicting mark could stop you from registering or using your own brand.
For a basic search of registered trade marks, please fill in our Free Trademark Search form at the top of this page.
Start your obligation-free trade mark consultation now. It’s the first step toward securing your brand.
Please take a minute to tell us about the brand or logo you’d like to trademark, and we’ll get back to you with initial advice about how you might want to proceed.
If your free basic search is favourable, we recommend proceeding with a full ‘freedom to operate’ trademark search. This type of search aims to identify registered marks that may not be identical, but are still too similar to your own. Our fee for each full search is $175.00 including GST.
To read more detail, please see our trademark search guide.
TRADEMARK APPLICATION
Once you’ve satisfactorily completed a trademark search, or worked with us to find a way around any conflicting marks, it’s time for a trademark application.
For a standard trademark application in a single class, we charge $785.00 (including government fees and GST). Many of our clients’ businesses operate within a single ‘class’ of goods or services, and we do our best to keep your costs down.
Each additional class requires additional work on our part, and an extra government fee. For an additional class we charge $450.00 (including government fees and GST). To help you with that decision, we’ll consult you carefully about your business needs, and present you with suitable options for classification.

INTERNATIONAL TRADEMARKS
If you intend to sell goods or services overseas, it’s wise to consider registering your trade mark in the relevant jurisdictions. We’re happy to have an informal discussion with you about your requirements. Just send us a note via our contact page. With that knowledge, we can provide a suitable quote.
Pricing will ultimately depend on the nature of your trademark; the type of goods and services; and national rules of the countries you want to file in.
OTHER COSTS
There are a range of additional services and government fees that you may need to consider. For example, the government requires a fee to file a request for an extension of time.
Other fees you may need to be mindful of are included in our schedule of Services And Fees.
