Why register

  1. The Fashion Brand Index ( FBI ) is a large source of brand names in use by the Australian and New Zealand clothing industry! We have on file many unregistered Trade Marks that are not listed with IP Australia. Not all manufacturers register their labels as Trade Marks but use them regularly. If you have not already registered with us, please fill in the registration form.

  2. Deters would-be-users from Registration of your Trade Mark, Name, Label, Design, and Logo. It also serves as a deterrent to any manufacturer who checks our files. Many intended names submitted to the FBI as search requests have established that there are identical unregistered names and trade marks already in use in Australia. Some manufacturers will never know how close they came to having someone else inadvertently use the same label.

  3. Gives you peace of mind on launching a new label Our index of labels and brand names in use throughout Australia and New Zealand can help you establish whether or not your intended label has current use. Both the legal profession and manufacturers use our files regularly in conjunction with the Trade Marks Office records.

  4. Helps you avoid expensive legal action. It is very important to conduct a thorough search before launching a new label or brand name. Each year, solicitors and courts handle many infringements. These result in costly legal expenses for manufacturers in establishing rights to the name, and possible damages. There are also the related costs to change everything associated with the name: labels, swing tags, advertising and promoting the range under a new name.

  5. Extensive computer data bank. The Fashion Brand Index ( FBI ) has been compiled from many different sources from Australia and New Zealand, including manufacturers, designers and importers and is continually updated. Our computer database contain Labels and Brand Names for all types of clothing, footwear and headgear, from high fashion to industrial wear. We also record how when the label has been in use or when it was previously used.

If you are planning to launch a new label,  check it first with the Fashion Brand Index ( FBI ).

As registration with Fashion Brand Index ( FBI ) is not a statutory requirement, we do not warrant that we can establish positively the existence of a label or brand name. Prudent intending users should make any additional enquiries to complete the investigation.
