With this in mind, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/trademark-registration.com.au\/australian-application\/do-i-have-to-register-trade-mark\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">trade mark registration<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can provide you with the adequate protection your fashion label needs to prevent others from misappropriating your brand. To help, this article outlines trade mark basics and some common mistakes you should avoid when registering a trade mark in connection with clothing goods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trade Mark Basics\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A registered trade mark protects the intellectual property in your brand. It can protect brand elements like a fashion label\u2019s:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">recognisable name;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">distinctive logo;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">slogan; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/trademark-registration.com.au\/australian-application\/trade-mark-colours\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">particular colour<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you obtain a registered trade mark, you possess the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">exclusive<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> rights to use, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/trademark-registration.com.au\/information\/license-your-trade-mark\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">licence<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and sell your mark. This means that if someone commits trade mark infringement, you have the legal means to prevent the person from committing further infringements.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Trade mark infringement occurs when someone uses a similar or identical trade mark concerning similar goods and services as your own trade mark without your permission. For example, a boutique clothing company that uses the label &#8216;Prada&#8217; would likely be infringing on Prada S. A.&#8217;s trade mark rights.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With a registered trade mark, you have legal avenues to pursue if there has been an unauthorised use of your trade mark. Therefore, you can market your clothing brand without fear of others misappropriating or copying it. Hence, a registered trade mark is an ideal way to promote your clothing business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Common Mistakes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From the requirements of your application to the short and long-term business considerations you have to make, there is a complex process that goes into registering a trade mark. For this reason, many brand owners fall into certain traps when applying for a trade mark. We detail common trade mark mistakes below.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. Common Descriptions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trade marks must be capable of distinguishing your products from others in the fashion industry. Consequently, if you attempt to register a trade mark that includes ordinary descriptions, common surnames or geographical names, there is a higher chance that IP Australia will reject your application. This is because other labels in the industry would likely benefit from using such descriptions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, if you attempt to trade mark words like &#8216;fashionable&#8217; or &#8216;stylish&#8217; to describe your clothing product, IP Australia is unlikely to accept these ordinary descriptions alone. Similarly, if you attempt to trade mark the name of a place that is particularly connected with the fashion industry, like Paris or Milan, this too can be difficult to register.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2. Avoid Registering a Similar Trade Mark<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This may seem like an obvious mistake to avoid but many brand owners attempt to trade mark a sign that other fashion companies have<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> already<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> registered. This can lead to IP Australia rejecting your application. Alternatively, if your mark is registered, you may potentially face opposition proceedings from a third party.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before registering a trade mark, conduct a comprehensive search of the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/search.ipaustralia.gov.au\/trademarks\/search\/quick\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trade Mark Register<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. You can search for the mark you wish to register by entering its keywords in the search bar or uploading an image of your logo. Further, conducting a trade mark check is vital to ensure that you are applying for a unique and available sign for registration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3. Avoid Choosing the Wrong Class<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you register a trade mark, you must register it in connection with the goods and service your business offers. When filling out a standard trade mark application, you must identify which &#8216;class&#8217; your goods and services fall under.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/tmgns.search.ipaustralia.gov.au\/\">Trade Mark Classification Search<\/a> is a class system that organises common goods and services that trade marks can protect.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some classes which may be relevant to your fashion label include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">class 25 &#8211; clothes, shoes and hats;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">class 26 &#8211; clothing accessories; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">class 42 &#8211; clothing and fashion designs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, it is important that you clearly identify trade mark classes that are relevant to your fashion label in your application. Your trade mark is only capable of protecting the goods and services that IP Australia approves in your application. For example, if your fashion label sells clothes and bags but only has a trade mark concerning clothing, your registered trade mark can only be used to protect the clothing items.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you submit your application for IP Australia&#8217;s review, you can only make minimum amendments. That is, you can only exclude classes in your application rather than <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/trademark-registration.com.au\/australian-application\/add-a-class\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">add additional classes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. To avoid the costs and time involved in submitting a new trade mark application, you should identify your relevant classes from the start.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When registering a trade mark for your fashion label, you should:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">avoid registering trade marks that contain ordinary descriptions;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">conduct a trade mark search to ensure your intended trade mark has not already been registered; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">identify the classes that are most relevant to your business.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you need help with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/trademark-registration.com.au\/register\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">registering your trade mark<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, contact our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/trademark-registration.com.au\/trademark-lawyer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">experienced IP lawyers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on <span class=\"AVANSERnumber\"><a href=\"tel:+611300657423\" class=\"dynamic-number\">1300 657 423<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1630295440861\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is copyright infringement?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Similar to trade mark infringement, copyright infringement occurs when someone misuses your creative work without your permission.
