Process for obtaining registration of trade mark and other matters - Applications - Advertisement of accepted application

46: Advertisement of accepted application

You could also call this:

"Telling everyone about a new trade mark request that's been approved"

When someone applies to register a trade mark and their application is accepted, the Commissioner must let other people know about it. The Commissioner does this by advertising the accepted application. The way the Commissioner advertises it must follow the rules that have been set out. These rules are called the 'prescribed manner'. However, there might not always be specific rules about how to advertise. If there are no specific rules, the Commissioner still needs to make sure people know about the accepted application in some way.
