hi I'm Katie from virtual eagle this video will talk to you about registering your IP online firstly you need to do a google search and see who else may be using the name that you're proposing to use that's the smart way to check out who your competition is and ensure that if you do happen to start moving ahead with branding that you're not going to have to rebrand in a few months time once you've got the attraction once you've done that then jump online to the IP Australia website which is at ww ipe Australia Cody you on there you can do an at massage there's a TMO SS and add more search that will search for trademarks that are already registered and also applications for trademarks that have been applied for before the time that you're about to apply don't be concerned about other people having a trademark that is similar to yours if it's in a different class there are 45 different classes between goods and services so there could be some sort of business perhaps Browns services which is in a car industry completely different class two if you are using brown services for cleaning you can register both in different categories if the search is clear you then create a profile online and do your application through eServices the application will cost you one hundred and twenty dollars for each and every trademark that you apply for several months will pass by before you hear back from them but if you actually are successful in registering your trademark there will be an annual fee of three hundred dollars it's important to Dyer eyes the dates that the annual renewal comes up so that you won't miss your opportunity to secure that trademark also keep in mind that if you can't get your name of your business also keep in mind that if you can't get the name of your business registered as a trademark you may be able to put this inside your logo and wrap it up in that way and get the logo registered it's also important to make sure that you own that space so if you're going to have a demain perhaps get the main that is the dot-com day you and the dot-com perhaps the dotnet and that way you are that person that name in that space for your class if you have any questions just jump online or give us a call we'd love to get your hands you
Thanks for your comment Freeman Teske, have a nice day.

hi my name is Katya and I'm a legal consultant at story law group I deal with intellectual property such as trademarks copyright and design patents and unfair competition this video will be the first in our series dedicated to what an intellectual property is and why do you need it protect it I will briefly introduce you to this topic and share some tips and hints on how to deal with such a complicated matter so let's get started the main difference between intellectual property and any other properties is that you cannot physically touch the IP the owner of a laptop for example obviously understands where his property is and where he can find it but intellectual property is intangible and sometimes the owners of IP do not even realize that they possess it some of you may probably believe that IP concerns only art and music and this is the first myth I would like to bust you surely need to protect your company's name logo any trade secrets on ohhohh articles or videos in a particular shape or design any company doing any business interferes with the IP in day-to-day operations and needs to protect its intellectual property from infringement so why do you need to protect your IP rights first of all this is the possibility to use your company's name and logo without any obstacles I know it sounds a little bit ridiculous but it's true when the name of your company is not registered you will be sharing the market with unfair competitive and market fakes secondly you can prevent any other party from using your designs or inventions we live in the world of ideas and the only thing that can make you Millions can be easily stolen from you regardless the amount of time and money you invest it in the uniqueness of your name there always will be someone intended to steal your idea or even exploit your reputation of the brand on the market and here comes the second round belief that company can save a lot of money by just ignoring the protection of intangible goods again this is absolutely wrong as the restoration of lost rights is a lot more time and money consuming than the prevention of such a problem as long as you are the official owner of the IP you are eligible to issue licenses and make a profit out of it please bear in mind that the right to claim damages arises only if your IP is protected if you have any questions or thoughts ask them in the comments below you can also have a free consultation with our professional at stolen law to stay updated about IP and any other legal matters please subscribe to our Channel star in law stay with us and learn how to protect your rights you
