The Australian Government have set up a website called ‘Trade Mark Check’ to make it easier for businesses to check if the business name they are using may be inadvertently infringing on someone else’s trade mark.

A registered Trade Mark gives the owner exclusive rights for the goods and/or services for the whole of Australia. If your business name infringes an existing trade mark it can mean legal bills, drawn out disputes and even the closure of your business.
