Trademarks & IP for Australian businesses

The brand protected in the market you sell into — searches, filings and watch, with the attorney line stated on every page.

What we cover

One page per intent — search the one that matches, or start with the fit call.

Trademark watchNew applications monitored against your mark, with a documented escalation path when something conflicts — unregulated, sold directly.
Trademark search & filing (TM Headstart)IP Australia’s Headstart pre-assessment used properly — search, classes and application prepared; filing itself is open to any agent in Australia.
Examination adverse report responseThe examiner’s objections answered with evidence and argument — prepared by us, escalated to an attorney when the matter turns legal.
Trademark renewalThe 10-year renewal tracked and filed before the grace-period fees start.
Trademark assignment recordalOwnership transfers recorded properly on the register — US via ETAS, AU via IP Australia — so the register matches reality.
Opposition & non-use removal supportIP Australia oppositions and non-use removals — the evidence file built; the contested argument is the attorney’s.
Registered design + certificationThe AU quirk stated plainly: a registered design is enforceable only after certification — we prepare both steps so the right comes with teeth.
Patent coordinationProvisional to standard patent — the disclosure file organised for the registered patent attorney the law requires.
Logo designA mark designed to be registrable — and delivered with the files a trademark filing actually needs.

How the work runs

A named person on our team owns your file; software carries the transaction-level grinding underneath their review. We work inside the system you already use — never a platform of our own that your data has to move through.

  • QuickBooks
  • Xero
  • NetSuite
  • Sage
  • Zoho Books
  • Bill.com
  • Gusto
  • Dext

Where this stops, and who picks it up

We are a consulting firm — lodgments and agent work run through registered BAS and tax agents. Here is the licence line in Australia, stated before you buy anything — each of these is carried out by your registered BAS or tax agent:

Stays with your registered BAS or tax agent

  • Work out what goes on your BAS, or advise you on it — under TASA 2009 that requires registration we do not hold.
  • Lodge anything with the ATO, or deal with the ATO on your behalf.
  • Determine your GST treatment, or calculate your superannuation guarantee.
  • Report Single Touch Payroll as your agent.
  • Give advice a registered tax agent is required to give.

Questions worth asking before you start

Will you deal with the Australian Taxation Office on my behalf?

No. We are a consulting firm — lodgments and agent work run through registered BAS and tax agents. Anything that means dealing directly with ATO — filing, correspondence, representation — stays with your registered BAS or tax agent. What changes is how much work it is for them: they open a file that is already reconciled and coded, not one they have to rebuild first.

Who actually does the work — a person or an AI tool?

A named person on our team owns your file and reviews everything that leaves it. Software does a real share of the grinding underneath it — coding, matching, flagging the obvious gaps — but nothing regulated happens without a person’s judgement, and nothing here is signed or filed by an algorithm.

Do you only work with the industries listed here?

These are the sectors where the vocabulary and the pitfalls are specific enough to justify their own page — deferred revenue for SaaS, WIP for professional services, job costing for construction. Outside these, the same bookkeeping and reporting services still apply.

We are a mix of a couple of these — can you still help?

Yes. Most businesses do not sit in exactly one bucket. Tell us the mix on the fit call and we build the chart of accounts and reporting around what you actually do, not the closest label.
