• Failure to register your trading name is an offence in South Australia
![Page 6: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Business Names - Registration
• Requirements:
- no identical or similar business name
- no offensive words, phrases or names
- if identical to a company name - only registrable by that company and cannot be transferred
• No proprietary or enforceable rights
![Page 7: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Company Names

- Dilution of control
![Page 8: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Company Names - Registration
• ASIC registration
- Allows you to trade without additional business name registration – need to use “Pty Ltd” or “Ltd”, as appropriate
- Any other trading names used must be registered as a business name
- Does not prevent registration of similar company names
![Page 9: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Trade Marks - Registration
• Ownership of your brand
- Exclusive use
- Prevention of use by others
- Legal recourse against infringement
• Broader protection than a common law mark
![Page 10: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Trade Marks - Registration
• Must currently use or intend to use the mark in the future
• The trade mark must:
- Be capable of distinguishing your goods / services
- Not be likely to deceive or confuse
- Not be substantially identical or deceptively similar to an existing trade mark registration or application in respect of similar goods / services
![Page 11: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Trade Marks - Protection
• Exclusive rights only in respect of specific goods and services
• Infringement occurs when a person uses a mark which is:
- substantially identical with, or deceptively similar to your mark; and
- in relation to identical goods and services; or
- in relation to closely related goods and services
![Page 12: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Trade Marks – Words and Logos
• Word marks may constitute a single word or a phrase
• Logos are generally pictures or devices which may incorporate words
• Word marks afford broader protection over the actual name
“COKE” “NIKE”
![Page 13: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Trade Marks – ® and ™• There is no legal requirement to use either symbol
• ® can only be used in reference to registered trade marks - s 151 of the Trade Marks Act
• ™ can be used in relation to any sign, registered or not
• Common law trade marks can be established by acquiring a reputation in a brand through use, however:
- Less protection than registered marks
- Other persons can register identical or similar marks
![Page 14: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Trade Marks
• Registration grants proprietary rights for 10 years
• Can be indefinitely renewed for further 10 year periods
• Trade mark registration:
- will not prevent initial registration of company or business names similar to your brand
- will allow you to prevent such a company actually trading under that name
HANDS OFF!!!
![Page 15: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Trade Marks
• It is important to:
- Use your brand, as trade marks can become vulnerable to removal for non-use
- Update your registration to keep pace with any expansion of your products or services
USE IT OR LOSE IT! - Remember: Registration must be sought country-by-country
![Page 16: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Domain Names
• Businesses use websites for numerous purposes
• Benefits of establishing a domain name: .net
- Improved recognition .com.au .org .us
- Increasing exposure http://www.apple.com
- Brand reinforcement .net.au .info .com
- Prevention of cybersquatting and trade mark infringement
![Page 17: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Domain Names
• Registration does not:
- confer rights against persons who register identical or similar names (eg. “.com” and “.com.au”)
- protect you against infringement of a registered trade mark which contains the “base” of your domain name
www.nike.com
![Page 18: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Dealing with these rights
• You can infringe a mark even if you have registered that word or phrase as a business, company or domain name
• A trade mark does not protect against use of a similar sign by a person:
- Using their own name in good faith
- Using the sign in good faith to describe their goods
- Who has continuously used the sign before either your registration, or your use of the mark
• Trade marks must also be registered as a business name for you to carry on business under that brand name
![Page 19: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Branding Scams – Domain Names
• Typically unsolicited emails or invoices
• Recent scams claim to originate from Asian-based domain name companies such as:
- “West Technology Limited”
- “Asia Network”
- “Century Net Group Stock Limited”
![Page 20: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Branding Scams – Domain Names
• There is no such thing as an “Internet Trademark”
• Domain names are registered on a “first come, first served” basis
• Such scams should be ignored
![Page 21: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Branding Scams – Trade Marks
• Typically overseas companies sending “invoices” for international registration of a mark
• Examples of known scammers:
- “Globus Edition SL” from Spain
- “IT & TAG” from Switzerland
- “TM Collection LLC” from Hungary
• These companies do not provide official registration or rights in any country
![Page 22: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Conclusions
• You can best protect your brand by registering:
- a business or company name reflecting your brand
- all trade mark(s) relevant to your brand for any goods / services which you trade or intend to trade
- relevant domain name(s)

Active Brand Protection
• Registration of a trade mark is not enough in itself
• Active monitoring of your brand is just as important
![Page 28: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Online Monitoring

- ensure that inaccurate or misleading information is not posted about your brand
- identify new brands which may be similar to yours
• Trade mark monitoring services are designed to assist with “active” protection of brands
![Page 29: Building and Protecting your Brand in the Digital Age](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c7a3374a795973668b4574/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
