Overview
Understanding Trademark Objection
When the Registrar raises objections in the examination report — typically on absolute (Section 9) or relative (Section 11) grounds — a written reply is mandatory within 30 days. We draft a reasoned legal reply with judicial precedents, evidence of distinctiveness and user proof to overcome the objection.
