Trademark Objection

All you need to know

What are Trademark Objections?

Once a trademark application is filed, the Trade Marks Registrar will process your application and issue an Examination Report for Trademark. Examination report could be for advertising your trademark before registration, or he can come up with an trademark objection for registration of the trademark. There are no fixed reasons why your Trademark Application may be objected.

The Trade Marks Office can, for various reasons, have objections to your trademark application. This may be because the word or logo is too similar or resembling to an existing trademark, or various other reasons. Law gives you an opportunity to respond professionally and reply to trademark objection raised. You must file your response to this objection within a month from when the Examination Report has been published online. If you don’t, the Registrar may abandon your application.
