Trade mark legislation to align automatically with international standards


Australia has introduced legislative reforms to simplify its IP system. From 18 March 2027, trade mark legislation will automatically reflect updates to the Nice Classification and the Madrid Protocol and its Regulations, eliminating the need for manual legislative amendments. Further reforms concerning costs in trade mark opposition proceedings and the regulation of IP attorneys are subject to additional public consultation.
