Introduction of Reply to the Examination

A Trademark (TM) objection is a formal claim asserting that a third party has infringed on your trademark. As a trademark owner, if you observe that someone else is using your trademark to sell similar products, you can raise an objection. Any trademark filed for registration must be accurate and error-free. Incorrect information, such as the wrong applicant’s name or principal place of business, can lead to complications. Here are two common reasons for trademark objections:

  1. Incorrect details on the trademark form: An objection is likely if the applicant’s name, principal place of business, or other information in the trademark application is incorrect.

  2. Incorrectly filing a trademark application: The examiner can object if the trademark application is filed improperly. For instance, if a trademark lawyer or agent files the application, it must be accompanied by Form TM-48.

The trademark office may sometimes object to a trademark application if it does not comply with legal norms. There are various reasons for such objections, including similarities between the proposed trademark and an existing one, or issues related to religious sentiments. If an objection is raised by the department or Registrar, a response must be submitted within 30 days. Upon raising an objection, the Trademark department issues a legal objection letter. If the applicant does not take steps to justify and differentiate the originality of the applied word or mark, the Registrar has the authority to abandon the application.
