Senior Trademark Attorney

The base fee for an Australian trademark application using IP Australia's pre-approved goods and services picklist is AUD 250 per class for goods and AUD 400 for services. Applications using custom goods and services descriptions not on the picklist are charged at AUD 400 for goods and AUD 550 for services.

Please note these are government fees paid directly to IP Australia. If you file through a representative (an attorney, law firm, or online legal service), additional fees for their services will apply.
