Trade Mark Fee Guide - IP Australia Fees - Updated with 2024 Fees

Criminals frequently attempt to scam individuals and businesses out of money.

This can include by:

• sending fake invoices, notices or requests for payment
• offering to provide services (such as Trade Mark Registration, Publication or Renewal Services) at significantly inflated cost
• making false or misleading claims relating to your payment or lodgement olbigations, or your entitlement to a refund
• attempting to steal personal information, passwords and usernames to gain unauthorised access to your government accounts

Often, these scams might look like a legitimate invoice or come from an organisation with an official-sounding name.

Before paying any trade mark fee, check to make sure the invoice or payment request is genuine. If in doubt, contact IP Australia or your trusted professional adviser to verify the fee.

Australian Government Agences will never request payment using Gift Cards, Gift Vouchers, iTunes Cards or Google Play Cards.

Summary of Changes

A significant change to the 2024 Schedule of Fees is the introduction of additional fees for Statement of Grounds and Particulars (SGP) in an opposition proceeding. Additional fees will apply where more than 3 grounds of opposition are raised, or where more than 10 trade marks are cited under a Section 41 opposition. The fee structure also streamlines hearing fees for Opposition matters by implementing a consolidated daily fee for oral hearings. The previous "Request for Hearing" fee is abolished. An Additional Fee applies to filing opposition evidence out-of-time.
