## When to use it

Use when a trade mark application is prepared on IP Australia's current application form. Clearance and the specification are separate tasks. This guide does not choose the classes.

## Used for these tasks

- [Draft a trade mark specification of goods and services and check it against the IP Australia trade marks page](https://ailawframework.com/practice/intellectual-property-patents-trade-marks-copyright-designs/draft-a-trade-mark-specification-of-goods-and-services-and-check-it-agai.md)
- [Draft a trade mark goods and services specification](https://ailawframework.com/practice/intellectual-property-patents-trade-marks-copyright-designs/draft-a-trade-mark-goods-and-services-specification.md)
- [Build a trade mark clearance conflict table](https://ailawframework.com/practice/intellectual-property-patents-trade-marks-copyright-designs/build-a-trade-mark-clearance-conflict-table.md)

## How AI may be used

Yellow. A tool may compare a working note with the current official form and list what is missing. The lawyer downloads the form, completes it and lodges it.

**AI may:**

- List the facts and documents the official page says to have ready.
- Compare a working checklist with the current downloaded form and mark gaps.
- Prepare a filing note that quotes only what the official page says.

**AI must not:**

- Do not copy the official form into a new document or file a retyped version.
- Do not invent a form number, fee, time limit or rule that is not on the official page.
- Do not draft, settle or sign an affidavit or other sworn evidence.
- Do not lodge the form or tell the client it has been filed.

**The lawyer checks:**

- Download the PDF linked on the form page and lodge it through Online Services or by post.
- The page says an address for service must be in Australia or New Zealand, and that a home address may become public.
- The page was last updated on 12 May 2026.
- Do not state that the mark is registrable. The form does not decide that.
