IP Australia Trademarks Scraper

IP Australia Trademarks Scraper

Scrape Australian trademark records from IP Australia by owner name, mark text, or Nice class, up to a million per run. Every record includes the mark image URL, status, classes, filing dates, and owner details. No API key required. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

IP Australia's official search portal is built for manual lookups, not bulk data collection. This Actor reads the public trademark register directly, searching by mark word, owner name, or Nice classification, and returns each matching record in a consistent flat schema. It handles pagination and rate limits so you get clean structured data without writing a single line of code.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your query term is spelled correctly and is not too broad. Try a known trademark like 'qantas' to verify the Actor is working. Also check that your status and class filters are not too restrictive.

The run is taking a long time or timing out.

Large queries can take time. Reduce the maxItems limit or narrow your search with class and status filters. If you need millions of records, consider splitting the work across multiple runs with different class filters.

Some fields are empty in my results.

Not all trademarks have every field populated on the public register. Older marks may lack an image URL, and some applications may not yet have a registration date. This reflects the data available on IP Australia's site.

I'm getting an error about the input schema.

Ensure your query is a non-empty string and that any class numbers you selected are valid integers between 1 and 45. The status field must be one of the listed options or left empty for 'Any'.

FAQ

Question	Answer
What data does this scraper return for each trademark?	Each record includes the trademark number, mark text, image URL, status, Nice classes, filing date, registration date, owner name, and address details as available on the public register.
Can I search by owner name instead of the mark itself?	Yes. The query field accepts both mark words and owner names. Enter a company or individual name to find all trademarks held by that owner.
How do I filter by multiple Nice classes at once?	The classes input accepts an array. Select as many class numbers as you need from the dropdown, and the Actor returns marks that match any of the selected classes.
Does this scraper handle expired or removed trademarks?	Yes. Use the status filter to include expired, removed, or lapsed marks. By default, the status filter is set to 'Any' which returns all statuses.
Is there a limit on how many trademarks I can collect?	You can set the maximum items up to 1,000,000 per run. The Actor will stop when it reaches your limit or when no more results match your query.

What export formats are supported?	You can export your dataset in CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML format directly from the Apify platform.
Can I get the trademark image or logo?	The Actor returns the image URL for each mark where one is available. You can download the images separately using the URLs in your dataset.
