What we do

From clearance to registered mark

A trade mark registration is only as strong as the clearance search that preceded it and the specification of goods and services that defines its scope. We search thoroughly, draft specifications that give you room to grow, and manage prosecution through to registration, including examiner objections and opposition proceedings if they arise.

For businesses with brands in multiple markets, we coordinate international filings through the Madrid Protocol: one brief, one point of contact, multiple jurisdictions.

Our process

A clear four-step prosecution path

Clearance, application, examination, registration: each step with a defined deliverable and timeline so the brand owner is never guessing where their mark stands.

  • 01. Clearance search: AU register, common law use, and domain registrations. Written opinion before any application is filed
  • 02. Application filing: drafted goods and services specification. Priority date secured from filing
  • 03. Examination & acceptance: examiner correspondence and objections managed
  • 04. Registration & maintenance: 10-year registration, renewal management, portfolio monitoring

Belinda’s approach to the offending party was very professional, direct, and firm. We highly recommend Wadeson for any patent and trademark issues in Australia and New Zealand.
