3.4 Renewals
Up one level
Where a different agent to the one listed on the trade mark application or registration makes an application for renewal or a trade mark registration on behalf of an applicant, a written authorisation of agent is not required, unless the Commissioner asks for written authorisation in a particular case.17 The fact that the agent files the application for renewal is sufficient evidence of the agent’s authority to do so.
The agent requesting the renewal will be entered as the renewal interest for the trade mark unless the Commissioner is advised otherwise.
