Overview

Trademark objection happens to be one of the initial stages in the Trademark registration process. Trademark objection does not mean a straight denial. Instead, the trademark registrar seeks a valid reason or explanation about the mark and registration. An opportunity is given to the applicant to explain how the said trademark fits the criteria to avail valid registration.

There are several reasons for Trademark objections like similarity with an existing trademark, offensive trademarks, absence of uniqueness, etc. Often, during the trademark registration process, the registrar raises objections to the applied trademark if it violates the trademark registration rules and laws.

In the event of a trademark objection, a comprehensive reply needs to be filed within a month from the objection's date of issuance.
