Now after filling your application number, you will get to know about your trademark status. If the trademark is still in examination procedure under the Registrar then it would be displayed as “Marked for Exam”. If in the status, it is displayed as “Advertised bef acc” then it means that there was no objection raised by the registrar and the trademark is ready to be published in the Trademark Journal.
A time frame of 3 months is given for raising Trademark Opposition. If any third party opposed the trademark then a legal notice will be sent to the applicant to which the applicant has to reply to the opposition for the trademark. When an opposition is filed then the status will be changed to “Opposed”.
If no opposition is filed to the registrar after 3 months of publication of the trademark in the Journal then the trademark would be approved by the Registrar.
Status of Trademark registration will now be changed to “Registered”.
After tracking down your application status online you come to know that the status of your application is “objected” then it means that the registrar found out any sort of false or incorrect information about you or your company’s information in the application form or the trademark you are wishing to opt is not available or cannot be registered.
The registrar can object to the trademark under “Section 9 & 11 in The Trade Marks Act, 1999”. Now the registrar would send an examination report to the applicant with the grounds of raising objection against the trademark.
The applicant must reply to the registrar with a well drafted and point wise trademark objection response within one month of the examination report in support of his trademark. If the applicant failed to reply to the registrar then the trademark would be marked as abandoned.
You may be wondering how we can guarantee that the trademark registration form will not be objected. While there is no such thing as 100 percent certainty, knowing the reasons for a trademark objection will help you minimize the likelihood of receiving a trademark objection from the registrar.
