I have a business, the team and I knew that the next step in our business was to trademark our name, I’ve heard about MMW Trademark from a dear friend of ours.The crucial elements in business is time and money, MMW Trademark has single handily practiced and demonstrated exactly that!!The most annoying thing, when starting something with any organisation is that they do not reply to your emails quick enough, it seriously can be so frustrating, MMW Trademark was super quick, they clearly have a very passionate and dedicated team working towards the clients best interest, seriously such an amazing team and service!!!Also they are affordable, you seriously cannot be asking for more.The team and I thank you for your service and now we have our own name trademarked because of your super quick and affordable service, thank you.

Jacqui and Brooke have made the entire process of applying for a trademark an absolute breeze! At every step, from submitting the trademark applications to navigating the subsequent stages and exploring other opportunities, the team made it easy for me to understand and proceed. Thanks to their guidance, our trademarks were ultimately approved. I'm looking forward to a long-term partnership with Mark My Words and thank them for making this important business step stress-free.

We've been clients of Mark My Words for quite a few years now, and not once have I ever doubted that my business is in the very best hands when it comes to handling our IP with trademarks in Australia and throughout the world. Jacqui has expertly guided us through a number of trademark purchases that were straightforward, as well quite a few other instances where we've had to overcome objections, negotiate trademark conflicts, and defending our own trademarks. The communication is perfect and the team always goes above and beyond to make sure we understand our options and possible costs before making any decisions. I highly recommend Mark My Words to any small business needing help with trademarks.

My company, Weyo, invested significant time and money in developing its brand identity so it only made sense to ensure Weyo was a protected trade mark. Mark My Words have been our first and only choice for assisting with our IP and trade mark needs across the world. This was particularly important as Weyo’s first launch was a collaboration with the Wiggles followed closely by collabs with Sesame Workshop and Oddbods so we needed to be sure everything was in place. Jacqui and her team deliver every time. 10 out of 10!!!

Brooke and Jacqui were extremely helpful with a less than straight forward IP matter my company had to overcome. They were really great in keeping me informed of the process as it progressed and we achieved the best outcome.

Mark My Words were the perfect solution to my Trademark registration needs. They have been so professional and thoughtful along the journey, providing me regular updates and a streamlined service. I filled out a few details and they took over from there with no glitches and a wonderful result! I now have a trademarked writing business in Australia and I plan on protecting myself in other countries too. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you to the team for looking after HeartWriting® Workshops Australia!

Jaqui and staff at MMW have been excellent and very professional. I started with a large company who grossly overcharged and failed to do the necessary work. Still paying them off by the way! Then I found Jaqui and staff who went out of their way to assist for reasonable charges Go with a smaller company and get personalised service like I did. They go out of their way to offer advice at reasonable fees

Our experience with Mark My Words has been excellent. We worked with Jacqui Pryor on US trademark infringement issues with no charge for the email consultation. Jacqui Pryor held my hand throughout the process and walked me through the steps necessary. I am very happy with the effort Jacqui Pryor made and the quality of the work. Her advice is always on point. She was always available and happy to answer any questions which is very helpful in the complex world of trademark infringement. Will continue to use Mark My Words for future IP activities. I would recommend Jacqui Pryor for anyone chasing deep trademark infringement issues.

Mark My Words was a game-changer for my business. Being a business owner, it's always a challenge to find the right companies to work with. From the get-go, they grasped exactly what we needed and understood our challenges. Their efficiency and advice was spot-on, and I felt completely secure in their hands. Needless to say, I'm continuing to work with them.

I needed a bit of straightforward advice for my small business, as I wasn't sure if I needed to apply for a trade mark or whether there would be an infringement. Jacqui replied quickly, thoroughly and cleared everything up, with no charge for the email consultation. I'll definitely be back if I need more help in future.

We tried to register our trademark ourselves and put it in the too hard basket after numerous rejections. We then got on to Jacqui Pryor at Mark My Words and couldn't have been happier with the ease of the process and Jacqui's clear communication style, keeping us informed and stepping us through the process to a successful registration. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

We've used MMW extensively across a broad range of trade mark applications in dozens of jurisdictions. The advice has been nothing but correct, actionable and timely. I couldn't encourage using MMWs services more. They are fantastic, reliable and a great addition to a busy in-house legal team.

After weeks of self-directed research into IP and how to best protect myself, I only became more and more overwhelmed and unsure of where to start. After reaching out to Jacqui and the team at MMW, my queries were answered promptly and comprehensively. If it wasn't for MMW I would have wasted money on IP that wasn't registrable or helpful in protecting my brand. Thanks to their skill set and wide range of IP knowledge I could effectively protect my brand now, and for the future.
