After filing the Trademark application, a thorough examination is conducted by the Trademark Examiner. At this stage, the officer meticulously reviews your chosen brand name to ensure it complies with all regulations. If any issues arise, they will notify you. In the absence of objections, the Trademark application is accepted and published in the Trademark Journal.

A trademark objection is raised by the Trademark Registry when concerns emerge about your application. These concerns may include similarities with existing trademarks or problems with the classification of goods and services. The responsibility then falls on the applicant to respond effectively and address these concerns. Resolving these issues is crucial to ensure the smooth registration of your brand name.

Trademark objections are common. When an objection is raised, it’s essential to carefully analyze it and submit a well-considered reply. The response to Trademark objections must be filed within 30 days of receiving the Examination report. Failure to do so within the specified time frame will result in the application being marked as “Abandoned.”
