Choosing goods and services when using TM Checker to check your trade mark

When applying for an Australian trade mark, it is important to choose the specific goods and services you want to use the trade mark for. This helps to prevent others from using a similar or identical trade mark for the same or similar goods or services. Choose goods and services that you are currently offering, or that you plan to expand into in the next few years. If you choose goods or services that are unrelated to your business activities or broader than what you plan to offer, your application for those items may be challenged down the track.
When doing your goods and services search, think about why your customers come to you and how you intend to make money. There are only 45 classes but there are thousands of goods and services within them. Familiarise yourself with the search and try different combinations of words.
