Our service is simple and straightforward. Here's how it works:
A trademark objection is an initial stage in the trademark registration process where the Trade Mark Registrar may raise an objection to the registration of a trademark.
A trademark objection can be filed on several grounds such as similarity with an existing registered trademark or pending application, lack of distinctiveness, being descriptive of goods or services, being offensive or against public policy.
If an objection is filed against your trademark application, you will be given due notice about the objection as well as the grounds of objection.
The first thing you must do is file a reply to the objection. This must be done within 30 days from the date of receipt of the notice of objection. Failure to file an objection within 30 days will change the status of your application to abandoned.
Your reply should include your arguments and evidence supporting your case for why your trademark should be registered despite the objection.
Yes, you can seek legal assistance from a qualified attorney or agent to help you respond to a trademark objection.
After you file your reply, the Examiner will review your response and if the Examinor is not satisfied, the matter will be set for hearing before the Registrar.
Yes, you can appeal a decision made by the Registrar to the IP Board.
The time it takes for an objection to be resolved can vary depending on several factors such as the complexity of the case and the workload of the Registrar.
Yes, you can continue using your trademark while an objection is pending. However, it is important to note that using an unregistered trademark does not provide legal protection against infringement.
Yes, you can withdraw your trademark application if an objection is filed against it. However, it is important to carefully consider your options before making this decision as withdrawing your application will result in the loss of any rights associated with it.
Yes, you can reapply for trademark registration if your application is rejected due to an objection. However, it is important to carefully consider the reasons for rejection and address any issues before reapplying
