Our Services
When someone infringes your trade mark, we act quickly and strategically. We handle cease and desist letters, oppositions, cancellations, and litigation before the Federal Court and IP Australia's Hearings Division.
Overview
You’ve built something worth protecting. So when a competitor starts using a name, logo, or tagline that’s too close to yours, it’s not just annoying — it’s damaging. Customers get confused. Your reputation gets diluted. And the longer it goes on, the harder it is to fix.
We help you shut it down. Whether that means a firm letter, a formal opposition, or taking the matter to court, we work out the smartest path to the best outcome — and we move quickly.
Sometimes a well-written letter is all it takes. We draft letters that are firm, clear, and backed by the law — designed to stop the infringement without the cost and time of formal proceedings.
If someone applies to register a mark that’s too close to yours, you’ve got two months to oppose it. We handle the whole process — building the evidence, drafting the submissions, and presenting your case to IP Australia.
There’s a mark on the register that’s blocking you, but the owner isn’t actually using it? We can apply to have it removed. We also defend clients whose marks are targeted by others.
When a dispute can’t be resolved any other way, we take it to court. We’ve acted in trade mark infringement cases before the Federal Court and know how to build a case that gets results.
Not every dispute needs to end in a courtroom. Often the best result is a co-existence agreement, a licensing deal, or a commercial settlement. We negotiate outcomes that work for your business.
Whether it’s a direct copy, a deceptively similar mark, parallel imports, or misleading conduct under the Australian Consumer Law — we’ve seen it before and we know how to deal with it.
