Better pre-filing decisions
Review the proposed mark and potential conflicts before committing to an application.
Business Registrations
Trademark protection starts before filing.
Clarify the mark, owner, goods or services, use history and possible conflicts before an application is prepared.
What should be checked before filing a trademark application?
Before filing, identify the correct applicant, decide whether the mark is a word, logo or other form, search for potentially conflicting marks, select relevant classes and prepare an accurate goods or services description.
Service overview
Start with the real facts.
A trademark application is not simply a name reservation. The mark must be considered in relation to earlier marks, the applicant’s ownership claim, the goods or services covered and the way the mark is already used or intended to be used.
Legal Meridian assists with information preparation, classification questions and the organisation of documents for filing or later examination. Registration is decided by the Trade Marks Registry and cannot be guaranteed.

Questions people ask
Trademark Registration FAQs.
Does filing guarantee registration?
No. The Registry examines the application, and earlier rights, objections or opposition may affect the result.
Can one application cover every business activity?
Trademark protection is organised by classes and the stated goods or services. The appropriate scope should match the real business activity.
Should I file a word mark or logo mark?
That depends on what needs protection and how the brand is used. Each form protects a different representation and should be considered strategically.
Can an unregistered mark have protection?
Rights may arise in some circumstances, but the scope and enforcement position depend on facts and applicable law. Obtain specific advice.
