More about Trademark Objection
What is a Trademark Objection?
A Trademark Objection occurs when the Trademark Examiner raises a query on your application in the Examination Report. It is NOT a rejection, but a request for clarification or legal reasoning on why your brand should be registered.
Most objections are raised under Section 9 (Lack of Distinctiveness) or Section 11 (Similarity to Existing Marks). If you fail to file a legal reply within the 30-day statutory period, your application is deemed abandoned.
Critical Deadline
The time limit to file a legal reply to the Examination Report is strictly 30 days from the date the report is issued. There is no provision for extension.
- What Happens If You Miss It?
- The Trademark Registrar will declare your application as "Abandoned", and all the filing fees and time spent will be lost. You would need to start the entire process again.

Frequently asked
Something else on your mind? Call the office - it is always the same number.
What is the fee for filing the reply?
There is no government fee for filing the legal reply (Form TM-O). The cost is purely for professional legal services (drafting, research, and submission).
What is the difference between Objection and Opposition?
An Objection is raised by the Trademark Examiner. An Opposition is raised by a third party (a competitor or public member) after your mark is published in the Trademark Journal.
What happens after the reply is filed?
The Examiner will review the reply. They will either Accept the mark or call for a Hearing if they are not satisfied. Our service covers the full reply process.
