Trademark Objection
A Trade Mark distinguishes the goods of one manufacturer or trader from similar goods of others and therefore, it seeks to protect the interest of the consumer as well as the trader. For Goods it is called trademark and for services it is called service mark. While applying for the Registration of Trademark, it may happen that the status of your trademark registration shows as “Objected”. The objections to your application can be made by the Registrar or any other Examiner in his Examination Report. When the trademark application is objected, then, the reply shall be required to be made to such Examination Report.
The response or reply to the objection in the examination report shall contain the facts of the case, the reasons and evidences as to why the trademark applied for should be allowed to be registered in the name of applicant. The reply should be made keeping in view the provisions of the Act and rules, settled judgements of the courts and trade parlance, if any. Further, if the examiner is satisfied from the reply of the applicant in respect of all issues mentioned in the examination report, trademark applied for is allowed to be published in the trademark journal and after a certain period it is registered in the name of the applicant.
