Trademark Objection support from our Trademark team, handled end-to-end as part of our Intellectual Property practice.
The legal reply must be filed within 30 days of receipt of the Examination Report, with a possible extension of 30 additional days. We typically prepare and file the response within 7 to 10 business days. The Examiner's decision after the reply is usually communicated within 2 to 4 months.
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 most common objections are under Section 9 (the mark is descriptive, generic, or lacks distinctiveness) and Section 11 (the mark is identical or similar to an existing registration or pending application in the same or related class).
If the Examiner is not satisfied with the written reply, a show-cause hearing is scheduled before the Registrar. We will represent your mark at the hearing to present oral arguments and additional evidence.
In certain cases, amendments such as adding a disclaimer, modifying the goods/services description, or restricting the specification can help overcome objections. We advise on the best strategy based on the specific grounds raised.
