IP Australia TM Checker

TM Checker makes it easier for small businesses to check if a trade mark is available. Here's how it works.

What is TM Checker?

The easy to use tool gives your business:

  • An early indication of if your proposed trade mark can be used in the relevant classes of goods and services
  • An estimate of how much your application could cost
  • An estimate of how long the trade mark application could take
  • A seamless link to the trade mark application process.

Want to try it out? You can test our pilot version of TM Checker now, and provide your feedback to the IP Australia team.
