A trademark objection is an official notification issued by the trademark registrar or a third party, raising concerns about your application during the examination stage.
Common reasons for trademark objections include:
Similarity to an existing trademark
Lack of distinctive character
Incorrect or vague description of goods/services
Use of prohibited or offensive terms
Non-compliance with legal formalities
An objection is an opportunity to clarify, amend, or defend your application to avoid outright refusal.
Common Grounds for Trademark Objection
Similarity with Existing Marks: If your trademark closely resembles an already registered mark, it may create confusion among consumers.
Descriptive Nature: If the mark merely describes the goods or services without being distinctive, it may face objection.
Deceptive Marks: Marks that mislead the public about the nature, quality, or geographical origin of goods/services.
Use of Prohibited Words or Symbols: Certain words, emblems, or national symbols are restricted under law and may lead to an objection.
Incorrect Classification: Filing under the wrong class of goods or services can also attract objections.
Our Trademark Objection Services Include:
1. Examination of Objection Notice
We thoroughly review the objection notice to understand the examiner’s concerns and the grounds cited.
2. Strategic Consultation
Our experts provide a detailed consultation outlining the best strategy to respond, defend, and justify your application.
3. Drafting and Filing Response (Reply to Examination Report)
We prepare a legally sound, persuasive reply backed with relevant evidence, clarifications, and legal precedents to counter the objection.
4. Hearing Representation
If required, our legal team represents you in hearings before the Registrar to argue your case professionally and effectively.
5. Continuous Follow-up
We regularly follow up with the Trademark Office to track the progress of your application until a final decision is made.
Why Acting Quickly Matters
Trademark objections come with strict deadlines. Typically, a reply must be submitted within 30 days from the date of issuance of the examination report.
Delaying your response can result in the abandonment of your application, forcing you to start the process over—losing time, money, and your brand momentum.
