💡 As an Australian business owner or brand manager, how confident are you in protecting your trade marks? LegalVision’s Rebecca Jones, Practice Group Leader in our Trade Marks team, spoke with B&T about the South Sydney Rabbitohs trade mark dispute and what it means for businesses relying on brand reputation alone. The article highlights three practical lessons: 🏷️ Trade mark ownership matters: Even well-known brands like the South Sydney Rabbitohs can face issues if similar marks are registered by others first. 🔍 Reputation has limits: Being recognisable does not automatically defeat a competing trade mark without strong legal grounds and evidence. ⚠️ Early protection reduces risk: Registering trade marks early and reviewing them regularly can help avoid costly disputes later.
