FAQ

Objection Reply FAQs

A trademark objection (or examination report) is issued by the Trade Marks Registrar during examination of your application. It raises concerns about your mark — typically similarity to an existing mark (Section 11) or lack of distinctiveness (Section 9). It is not a rejection. You have 30 days to file a detailed reply.

The Trade Marks Rules require you to file your reply within 30 days of the examination report date. There is no provision for extension. If you miss this deadline, your application is treated as abandoned and cannot be revived. Time is critical.

Our objection reply service starts at ₹3,999 — covering full analysis of the examination report, drafting a detailed legal reply, filing on IP India, and follow-up coordination for the hearing date. Complex objections with multiple grounds may vary.

If the Registrar issues a final refusal order, you may appeal to the Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB) within 3 months. Our attorneys will prepare and represent your case at every appellate stage.
