A trademark objection is raised by the Trademark Examiner when issues are found in your application, such as lack of distinctiveness, similarity with existing trademarks, or documentation errors.
No. A trademark objection is not a rejection. It gives you an opportunity to justify and defend your trademark by filing a proper reply within the prescribed time.
The reply to a trademark objection must be filed within 30 days from the date of issuance of the examination report. Missing the deadline may lead to application abandonment.
Common documents include the examination report, trademark application details, usage proof (if applicable), business documents, and an authorization letter for filing the reply.
Section 9 objections relate to lack of distinctiveness or descriptive trademarks, while Section 11 objections arise due to similarity with existing or pending trademarks.
