Trade Mark & IP Law Practice Areas

From logos and trademarks to product designs, software, and original music, your intellectual property can represent significant intangible value.

Our Gold Coast team offers assistance to start-ups, established businesses, creators, and innovators in protecting their IP rights. We provide them with expertise across intellectual property protection, licensing, dispute resolution and management of IP portfolios.

Regardless of whether you operate locally, throughout Australia or in several countries, we can advise you on the most suitable strategy for your circumstances.

Protect Intangible Value

A registered trade mark protects your business’s identity. Namely, your brand, trading name or logo. Essentially, it helps to prevent others from benefiting from your goodwill. Additionally, strong trade mark protection also adds security and commercial value as your business grows.

If an invention is new and commercially valuable, you may want to patent it to protect the technical innovation. Likewise, design registration can protect the visual appearance of eligible product designs, while copyright applies automatically to many original works. This includes written content, software, artwork, photographs and digital creation.

Intellectual Property Law Disputes, Enforcement and Litigation

Even if you have strong intellectual property protections in place, others may still dispute them. Often this is on the grounds of unauthorised use of a trade mark, copied product designs, breaches of copyright, or allegations of passing off.

If your IP rights have been infringed, we will review the matter on your behalf. We will also assess all the available evidence and then provide you with honest advice on what you should do.

As a local Intellectual Property Law Firm, we can provide you with access to legal knowledge that reflects both Australian law and the needs of Gold Coast businesses.

How Our Gold Coast IP Process Works

At Tarra Law, our IP process starts with an audit to identify the assets that require protection. We then develop a bespoke strategy that covers trade marks, patents, copyright, design registration or licensing arrangements.

After instructions have been confirmed, we will prepare the required documentation, lodge the application and monitor key deadlines. We continue to assist after registration by reviewing renewal dates and advising on ongoing portfolio management.

Fees, Timelines and Value for Gold Coast Clients

The cost of our Intellectual property legal services will depend on several factors. This includes the type of protection required and the complexity of the matter to be resolved. We explain the likely fees upfront so you know exactly what your outlay will be.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I register a trade mark in Australia?

You should register your trade mark as soon as possible, but especially before launching a brand. This will reduce the risk of conflicts occurring and strengthen your legal rights.
A trade mark protects your brand, name or logo. It differs from copyright, which automatically protects original creative works such as written content, software, artwork and music.
The best way to enforce your intellectual property rights is to obtain legal advice. A lawyer will advise you on what you need to do, including collecting evidence, issuing cease-and-desist correspondence or, where necessary, initiating court proceedings.
