What is a Trademark Objection?

A trademark objection occurs when the Trademark Registrar raises concerns regarding your application under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. Objections may relate to similarity with existing marks, lack of distinctiveness, or incorrect classification.

Objection does not mean rejection. A proper reply can overcome the objection.
