The package includes:

  • TM Health Check - a check to see whether or not your trade mark is available to use and register;

  • TM Strategy & TM Application - subject to the results of the TM Health Check, recommendations re the trade mark(s) to protect and the descriptions of your goods and services; and

  • Examination - IPONZ Acceptance or IPONZ Objection- reporting the results of IPONZ’s examination and advising re next steps or confirming acceptance.

Charges will be invoiced in three instaments: $750 + GST after the TM Health Check; $525 + GST and the government fees for the TM Strategy & TM Application; and $300 + GST to report the acceptance or objection from IPONZ. If any additional costs are required after examination by IPONZ these will be agreed with you first.
