Overview of Respond to TM Objection

Trademark objection is a common occurrence in India when registering a trademark. It happens when a trademark examiner finds existing trademarks that are similar or identical to the one being registered. The examiner will then issue an examination report outlining the objections and reasons why the mark cannot be registered.

The trademark objection process in India requires the applicant to file a response to the examination report with the Registrar of Trademarks.
The response should contain valid arguments and evidence to address the objections raised and demonstrate why the mark should be allowed for registration.
If the response is accepted, the trademark will be registered, and if not, the applicant can appeal the decision.
Overall, the trademark objection process is an important step in protecting the intellectual property of businesses in India.
It ensures that only unique and original trademarks are registered, preventing confusion and infringement on existing trademarks.

Registration Process of Respond to TM Objection

It is important to respond to a trademark objection notice within the given time frame, and Legal Suvidha can assist in navigating the trademark objection process smoothly. Upon receiving a trademark objection notice, it is recommended to carefully review the grounds for objection.

Step 1: The first step is to file a counter statement within two months of receiving the notice.

Step 2: Once the counter statement is filed, the registrar will schedule a hearing and the applicant can present evidence and other documents to support their case. If the registrar rules against the applicant, they can appeal to the Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB) within three months of the order. Any delays in the process should be explained along with a fine of ₹2500, and the filing process should follow the IPAB’s rules and regulations.

Step 3: All documentation should be verified and endorsed by the deputy registrar. If there are any defects in the application, a notice will be issued and the necessary changes must be made and submitted within two months. If there are further delays, the application may be abandoned. Ultimately, the IPAB will review the documentation and make a decision on the case.
