Content in the 'General Filing Requirements' and 'Filing Requirements for a Trade Mark Application' chapters has been consolidated into a single chapter, Part 2 – Filing Requirements, making it easier for users to find and navigate filing-related guidance in one location.

IP Australia welcomes feedback on the Manual via email to the Quality, Practice and Customers Team (QPC) at MDB-TechnicalHub@ipaustralia.gov.au.
