Trademark Objection
A Trademark Objection occurs when the Trademark Registrar or a third party raises concerns about your trademark application during the examination process. This does not mean rejection, but it requires the applicant to submit a proper response to justify the uniqueness of their trademark.
📌 Regulatory Authority: Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trademarks (CGPDTM)
📌 Response Time: 30 Days from the date of issuance
📌 Common Reasons: Similarity to existing trademarks, lack of distinctiveness, misleading brand name

✅ Strengthens Legal Protection – A well-handled response improves the chances of successful registration.
