Frequently Asked Questions
A trademark objection is a notice issued by the Trademark Office when an application does not meet certain legal requirements, such as similarity with existing marks, descriptiveness, or incomplete documentation.
Objections can arise due to similarity with earlier trademarks, being generic or descriptive, incorrect classification of goods/services, or procedural/documentation issues.
There are mainly two types:
Absolute grounds objection – based on the nature of the mark itself.
Relative grounds objection – based on conflict with an existing registered trademark.
A trademark objection can be resolved by filing a response or reply to the Trademark Office addressing the concerns raised, including legal arguments, amendments, or supporting documents.
Typically, you have one month from the date of receiving the objection to submit a response. Extensions may sometimes be requested.
Yes, if the response does not satisfactorily address the objection, the Trademark Office may refuse registration. Proper handling increases the chances of approval.
While not mandatory, hiring a professional or trademark attorney is highly recommended because they can draft strong legal responses and represent you effectively.
Once the objection is resolved, the Trademark Office proceeds with registration and issues a trademark registration certificate, granting full rights to the mark.
