Objections of Trademark registration

The Trademark Analyst may identify issues during the brand name registration process, such as incorrect forms, misleading terms, or missing product information. If a complaint is lodged, the status changes to ‘Objected,’ and a well-prepared response must address the concerns and provide supporting evidence. If accepted, the application proceeds to the Trademark Journal. If not, a Trademark hearing may be scheduled. Typically, this process takes 2-4 months and offers a good chance of approval once resolved.

Opposition of Trademark

A trademark opposition is a formal action aimed at preventing the approval of a trademark application. Third parties who believe that a brand name might impact their own can file a written notification of opposition. If the Analyst finds the opposition valid, they must inform the applicant, who has two months to submit a counter-argument to the Registrar.
