Trademark Objection Reply

Filing a trademark is just the beginning of brand protection. During examination, the Registrar may raise objections citing similarity with existing marks, incorrect classification, lack of distinctiveness, or procedural errors. If not handled properly, your application can be rejected, leading to loss of time and money. A Trademark Objection Reply is your chance to defend your brand legally and prove its distinctiveness. Liquetax specializes in drafting strong replies backed by case laws, ensuring your brand survives scrutiny and gets registered.

What is Trademark Objection Reply?

A Trademark Objection is an official notification issued by the Trademark Registrar after examining your application. It highlights deficiencies such as similarity to an existing mark, incorrect description of goods/services, or insufficient documentation. It is not a rejection but a request for clarification. Applicants must submit a detailed legal reply within the prescribed time (usually 30 days) to keep the application active.

Assurity

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
