Class 42 trade mark FAQs
What is trade mark class 42 in Australia?
Class 42 covers scientific and technological services — software as a service (SaaS), IT development, cloud platforms, research and design services. Together with class 9 it anchors nearly every technology trade mark filing. Australia uses the international Nice Classification system of 45 classes; your registration only protects the goods or services you nominate.
How do I register a trade mark in class 42?
Apply through IP Australia (directly or via a trade marks attorney), nominating class 42 and describing your services. Applications are examined about 3–4 months after filing, advertised for a 2-month opposition period if accepted, and then registered.
How much does a class 42 trade mark cost?
IP Australia charges a government fee per class — from $250 per class for a standard online application using the goods and services picklist (check IP Australia’s current fee schedule). Attorney or law-firm fees are additional.
How long does trade mark registration take in Australia?
Typically at least 7–8 months from filing to registration: examination from around 3–4 months, a 2-month opposition window, then entry on the register. Protection backdates to your filing date.
