Mark My Words – Your Affordable Trade Mark Attorneys

Our fees are competitive when compared against other consultants, agents and attorneys. In fact, the fees charged by many of the large firms of attorneys are nearly double what we charge.

Where possible, we quote a flat fee so you won’t get any hidden surprises. Very few services are charged by the hour and when they are, you’ll find it’s a much lower hourly fee than most other trade mark professionals.

When comparing fees between professional firms, it is important to compare ‘apples with apples’. Ours include government fees (which are GST free), our professional fee and include the GST on our professional fee. Many other companies often quote fees which exclude their professional fee, or which don’t include the government fee or which are ex-GST. (Look for any asterisks next to fees and read the fine print!)

It’s not in our nature to name names, but we have noticed that there are a few firms that charge clients the highest official filing fees but then use the least expensive option to file the application. In other words, their gain is your loss.

Additional Services at no extra charges

Unlike other firms, we don’t charge extra for a number of our services.

Some of the many services which are included in our standard fee are:

• diarising and issuing of trade mark renewal reminders every 10 years
• reviewing and providing preliminary advice on any adverse reports received during examination
• receiving and reporting on all correspondence throughout the standard application process including telephone phone calls and discussions

Our company is directed by Jacqui Pryor, a registered trade marks attorney who has more than 20 years of experience in trade mark matters.

The area of trade mark registration can often be complicated. We will always take the time to listen to you, answer your questions (there’s no such thing as a silly question) and explain things in plain language in a way that is easy to understand.

Our company mission includes a commitment to ensure that businesses of all shapes and sizes have access to professional trade mark registration services and advice. We appreciate that smaller and start-up enterprises don’t always have the budget for this, so, we offer a range of payment options (including payment plans) to assist. It’s also good to know that we won’t charge you any additional fees if you select a payment plan!

We respond to all enquiries promptly. We won’t make you wait for days for an answer and it is very rare that we take longer than 2-3 hours during business hours to respond to your web or email enquiry.
