## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## IP Australia Trademark Search Scraper

Search Australia's official trademark register and get back structured records instead of a results page. Give it a name, an owner, or an application number and it returns mark text, status, classes, goods & services, and the filing/registration timeline for every match.

***

### IP Australia Trademark Search Scraper Features

- Search by trademark name, owner name, or application number — IP Australia's own quick search covers all three in one query
- Filter results by Nice classification (1-45) and status (registered, pending, refused, removed) without touching the target site's advanced search form
- Restrict to a filing date range
- Returns class-by-class goods & services descriptions, not just a class number
- Captures the full lifecycle timeline: filing date, registration date, renewal-due/expiry date, and current status
- Pulls owner name and the address-for-service (attorney/agent) name for every mark
- No account or API key required — runs start immediately

***

### Who Uses Trademark Search Data?

- **Trademark attorneys** — run clearance searches across an owner's portfolio before filing a new application
- **Brand protection teams** — monitor a competitor's or infringer's trademark activity in Australia
- **IP portfolio managers** — pull renewal dates across a company's Australian marks to track what's coming due
- **Market researchers** — see which companies are filing in a given Nice class

***

### How IP Australia Trademark Search Scraper Works

1. You give it a search term (trademark name, owner name, or application number) and, optionally, class/status/date filters.
2. It searches IP Australia's Trade Marks Online Search and pages through the results.
3. For each match it opens the trademark's own record page and reads the full detail: goods & services by class, the filing/registration/renewal timeline, and the parties involved.
4. Records land in your dataset as they're found, up to `maxItems`.

### Input

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "apple",
  "statuses": ["REGISTERED"],
  "niceClasses": ["9"],
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

| Field               | Type    | Default | Description |
|---------------------|---------|---------|---|
| `searchQuery`       | String  | `""`    | Search by trademark name/text (partial match). |
| `ownerName`         | String  | `""`    | Filter by owner/applicant name. |
| `applicationNumber` | String  | `""`    | Look up a single trademark by its Australian application number. |
| `niceClasses`       | Array   | `[]`    | Restrict to one or more Nice classes (1-45). Empty = all classes. |
| `statuses`          | Array   | `[]`    | Restrict to one or more of `REGISTERED`, `PENDING`, `REFUSED`, `REMOVED`. Empty = all statuses. |
| `dateFrom`          | String  | `""`    | Only include marks filed on or after this date (`YYYY-MM-DD`). |
| `dateTo`            | String  | `""`    | Only include marks filed on or before this date (`YYYY-MM-DD`). |
| `maxItems`          | Integer | `15`    | Maximum number of records to return. |

At least one of `searchQuery`, `ownerName`, or `applicationNumber` is required — IP Australia's search needs a term to search on.

### Resuming a large crawl

Every run emits a `resumeCursor` in its Output. If a large crawl stops before it finishes — because it hit `maxItems`, your spend cap (`maxTotalChargeUsd`), or was aborted — start a new run with **the same input** plus that `resumeCursor` to continue from where it left off. The crawl resumes from the queued work the previous run didn't reach.

- You are **not re-charged** for records the earlier run already delivered.
- Resume within your account's run-retention window — on the free tier, roughly your 10 most recent runs. Once the source run is pruned, its `resumeCursor` is no longer valid.
- `resumeCursor` is opaque — supply it unmodified.

### FAQ

#### How do I search Australian trademarks?

IP Australia Trademark Search Scraper takes a trademark name, owner name, or application number as input and returns structured records — no need to read results off the search page by hand.

#### What data can I get from IP Australia's trademark register?

Mark text, mark type, status, filing/registration/renewal dates, owner and attorney names, Nice classification numbers, and the full goods & services description for each class. Device and composite marks also come with an image URL.

#### Can I filter by Nice class or status?

Yes. Set `niceClasses` to one or more class numbers (1-45) and `statuses` to `REGISTERED`, `PENDING`, `REFUSED`, or `REMOVED` — the actor applies both filters before a record ever reaches your dataset.

#### Do I need an account or API key for IP Australia?

No. The actor needs no login or key of its own, and neither do you.

#### How much does IP Australia Trademark Search Scraper cost to run?

Pricing is pay-per-result at $0.001 per trademark record, plus a small per-GB run charge. A 50-record search costs a few cents.

### Why Use IP Australia Trademark Search Scraper?

- **The only Australian trademark scraper on Apify** — no other actor covers IP Australia's register.
- **Filters that actually filter** — Nice class, status, and date-range narrow the result set before you pay for it, instead of handing you everything and leaving the filtering to you.
- **Cheap** — $0.001 per trademark record.

# Actor input Schema

What will this data feed? E.g. lead lists, KYB checks, price tracking.

## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`):

Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements.

## `sp_contact` (type: `string`):

We'll personally help with your use case. No spam.

## `resumeCursor` (type: `string`):

Leave empty for a fresh crawl. To CONTINUE a previous run where it stopped — without paying again for records you already received — paste the `resumeCursor` value from that run's Output (the run's OUTPUT key). Resume promptly: the previous run's data expires with your account's retention window (free tier: your ~10 most recent runs).

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Search for trademarks by name or text (partial match). At least one of Trademark Name, Owner Name, or Application Number is required.

## `ownerName` (type: `string`):

Filter by trademark owner / applicant name (e.g. 'BHP Group', 'Commonwealth Bank'). Combined into the same search as Trademark Name — ATMS searches mark text, owner names, and trade mark numbers together.

## `applicationNumber` (type: `string`):

Look up a single trademark by its Australian application/registration number.

## `niceClasses` (type: `array`):

Restrict results to one or more Nice classification numbers (1-45). Class 1-34 are goods, 35-45 are services. Leave empty for all classes.

## `statuses` (type: `array`):

Restrict results to one or more status groups. Leave empty for all statuses.

## `dateFrom` (type: `string`):

Only include trademarks filed on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD).

## `dateTo` (type: `string`):

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of trademark records to return.
