[1] No guarantee of 100% for registration. We can apply for Trademark Headstart from IP Australia, the Trademark examiner will search with a fee of $200 per class.

[2] Pick list refers to the approved list of goods and services of IP Australia. If the goods/services that you search for have appeared in this link here. This means that it is in the Pick list. 90% of my clients can use the Pick list.

None pick list means using your cudescription of goods/services. For example: in the Pick list: Legal service is Class 45. But I want to register for ”Monitoring intellectual property rights for legal advisory purposes” which describes my service in more detail. You must use the None Pick list.
