Trademark Hearing support from our Trademark team, handled end-to-end as part of our Intellectual Property practice.
Hearing notices are typically issued 1 to 3 months after the written reply is filed or after the evidence stage in opposition matters. The hearing itself usually lasts 15 to 30 minutes. The Registrar's order is typically communicated within 30 to 60 days after the hearing.
We make legal and intellectual property filings seamless, secure, and fully transparent. Here is how we handle your assignment from start to finish:
Understand your goals, check eligibility, and draft the filing roadmap.
Collect required records and conduct compliance checks for errors.
Draft and submit applications to the registry within 48 business hours.
Monitor application progress and respond to office actions/objections.
Handover certified registrations and provide post-filing support.
The Trademark Registry currently conducts hearings virtually via video conferencing. In-person hearings may be requested at the appropriate registry office (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, or Ahmedabad) in special circumstances.
The hearing is attended by a registered trademark agent or advocate authorized through a Power of Attorney. The applicant does not need to be personally present — we represent you entirely.
If the Registrar refuses the application after the hearing, we can file an appeal before the High Court having jurisdiction over the relevant Trademark Registry office. We will advise on the merits and prospects of the appeal.
