Why My Trademark Is Objected?

An objection can be raised by the Trademark Examiner, if the mark has potential for deception of the public by reason of something inherent in the mark itself or in its use, like nature, quality or geographical origin of the goods or services.

What happens if a trademark is objected?

Once the counter is filed, the Registrar may call for a hearing if he rules in favour of the applicant the trademark will be registered. If he rules in favour of the opposing party, the trademark will be removed from the Journal and the application for registration will be rejected.

How do you clear an objected trademark?

If some goods are in the wrong class: trademark reply to change the application to delete the items that do not fall under the proposed class. If the objection is because of the grounds (the mark is not distinctive): file a reply stating that your mark can be differentiated from the foods and services it stands for.
