If you want exclusive rights to your business name or brand, you will need to register a trade mark. This will help you to protect your brand, give you exclusive rights to use your mark throughout Australia and provide protection for an initial period of 10 years.
Many people think that simply registering a business name or domain name will protect you. but this is incorrect. Only a trade mark will give you exclusive rights to a mark.
