195B: Validation of fees used to recover costs of register of geographical indications

You could also call this:

"Fees for trade marks can be used to pay for a special list of place names"

This law is about money that you pay for fees related to trade marks. It says that the money you pay for these fees can be used to cover the costs of running a special list called the Register of Geographical Indications. This applies to fees you pay now or have paid in the past, up until a new law called the European Union Free Trade Agreement Legislation Amendment Act 2024 starts. After this new law begins, the Commissioner (the person in charge) can use the money from these fees to pay for the costs of the person who looks after the Register of Geographical Indications. This is allowed under a rule called section 195A of the Trade Marks Act.
