The International Trademark Association on 8 May 2024 published an interview with Margaret Tregurtha, the Deputy Director General of IP Australia. It's a worth while read and, as the heading suggests, places an emphasis on moving forward with exciting prospects.
In an earlier blog I discussed that increasing trademark applications may decrease opportunity for some which can be overcome by innovation. The Deputy Director General points out that between the 1 January 2023 and 30 June 2023 IP Australia received 80,062 trademark applications.
Ms Tregurtha also pointed out that IP Australia will soon release its 2024 IP Report with an analysis of the economic impact of trademarks. I look forward to sharing these major trademark influences emanating from the 2024 IP Australia Report.
