Application numbers

SPELLGROVE — 2706928 and LEGEND OF RAH — 2706929, both filed 19 October 2026. Look either up on Australian trade mark search at ipaustralia.gov.au. The letters themselves are in workshop/brand/trademark/ (private — they carry addresses).

On the evening of 19 October Kris filed the two word marks himself through the IP Australia portal. On the morning of the 20th the portal’s inbox had two new items, one per mark, each titled “IP Right Filed”: a letter headed Your trade mark has been filed. This page is those two letters, read, and what they settle.

What the letters say

Trade mark	Application	Filed	Classes	Applicant
SPELLGROVE	2706928	19 October 2026	9 and 41	CoCreations Australia Pty Ltd
LEGEND OF RAH	2706929	19 October 2026	9 and 41	CoCreations Australia Pty Ltd

Both letters are dated 20 October and are twelve pages, nearly all of it the goods-and-services list: class 9 is downloadable game software, mobile apps, virtual-world and avatar goods and downloadable electronic publications; class 41 is online games, entertainment services, game competitions and non-downloadable publications. These are IP Australia’s pre-approved wording, picked from its list, which is why the fee was the standard A$250 per class.

It settles one loose end: the record written the night of the filing had to guess which number belonged to which mark, from the order of the payments. The letters name them, and the guess was right — SPELLGROVE is 2706928, LEGEND OF RAH is 2706929.

So it is just the acknowledgement

Yes. Nothing in either letter asks for anything. What it says happens next:

An examiner assesses each application against the Trade Marks Act 1995 — usually about three to four months. (Expediting is possible on request through online services; there is no reason to yet.)
If accepted, the mark is advertised for two months, during which anyone can oppose it. With no opposition, or one that fails, it registers; the certificate follows, renewal is due every ten years, and protection runs from the filing date.
If not accepted, IP Australia sends a report saying why, and the applicant has 15 months from its date to answer.

One thing to do, which is small: the letters ask the applicant to check the application summary is correct, and say any amendment is requested in online services. The summary lists the right owner, marks and classes. The one line worth a glance is the representative: the letters are addressed to, and name as representative, The Trustee for Randall Family Trust, not CoCreations — presumably how the account was set up, and harmless, but worth knowing that the examiner’s correspondence will go there.

The email also carries a line about TM Headstart being a quick-turnaround service that needs an urgent response to amendments or payments. It reads as a standard footer on the portal’s mail; the letters themselves are ordinary “filed” notices with no payment or amendment due, and the A$1,000 was paid at filing. If a Headstart-flavoured request ever does arrive, that one is time-boxed.

Where the documents are

In the repo’s private workshop/brand/trademark/, beside the filing receipt — not on the site. The letters carry a home address and the receipt carries payment details, and the site is the one public surface. The download links in the email expire after seven days and IP Australia keeps each item for fifteen months, so the PDFs were saved the day they arrived. Still Kris’s, as before: the US (intent-to-use or Madrid from this base), a fixed-fee attorney’s once-over before the Kickstarter, and the banner lock-up restyle.
