What Is a Certificate of Registration?
A Certificate of Registration is an official document issued by the Australian Government that confirms your trade mark has been successfully registered and is legally protected. It serves as evidence of ownership, displays essential information about your mark including the classes your goods and services are registered in usage rights, any special conditions or endorsements, and contains an Australian Government seal validating its authenticity.
Important features:
- First page shows owner(s) and primary mark detail
- Attachment pages accommodate multiple owners, series marks, or additional classe
- Special trade mark types (Certification, Defensive, Collective) are clearly indicated
- Endorsements and conditions are documented on separate pages
Do I Need a Certificate of Registration?
In certain situations, you may be required to prove that your application for registration of a trade mark has been accepted. In a legal sense, registration gives the owner the right to use, license, or sell the mark within Australia for the goods or services for which it has been registered. A trade mark becomes registered when the trade mark has been accepted for registration, has passed the opposition period, including any opposition proceedings or appeals, and any appropriate fee has been paid, then has been entered on the Register and given a number. In most cases, its number will be the application number but in some limited circumstances, such as partial assignment, linking or amalgamation of trade marks, the number may be different. Registration of a trade mark must be published, and the registered owner will normally receive a certificate of registration at that time but these can be lost or misplaced, just when you need it. A Certificate of Registration from the Registrar serves as this evidence.
Different organisations may require a Certificate of Registration, including:

A trade mark is a personal property right that can be used (including used as security), enforced, assigned, or transferred.
