Good to know
More about Trademark Hearing
What is a Hearing Notice?
A Hearing is scheduled by the Trademark Registrar when the written reply (Objection) or counter-statement (Opposition) is deemed insufficient. This requires mandatory physical/virtual attendance by a legal representative (Trademark Attorney) to present oral arguments.
The Hearing is typically the final opportunity to convince the Examiner/Officer that your mark is distinctive and not conflicting. Failure to attend results in the application being deemed abandoned.
Why Legal Representation?
The Trademark Hearing Officer is looking for legal justification and case-law support. Attending without a Trademark Attorney is highly risky.
- Our Representation Includes
- Citing legal precedents from High Courts. Filing final 'Evidence of Use' documents. Arguing the distinctive nature of your brand.
