Trademark Objection Reply
Reply to Trademark Examination Report within 30 days to save your application
Here is the full trademark objection reply process, end to end — every step and who handles what. Knowing the sequence up front helps you keep documents ready and avoid the back-and-forth that delays most filings.
How It Works
- 1
Examination Report Analysis
We review the objections in detail — identifying whether they are absolute grounds, relative grounds, or procedural issues.
- 2
Evidence Gathering
For absolute ground objections, we compile prior use evidence — invoices, advertisements, website screenshots, packaging — to establish distinctiveness.
- 3
Draft Reply
Our IP attorneys draft a detailed, legally reasoned reply citing Trade Marks Act provisions, IPAB and High Court precedents.
- 4
Filing within 30 Days
The reply is filed on the IP India portal within the 30-day deadline.
- 5
Hearing Representation
If the examiner is not satisfied with the written reply, a hearing is scheduled. We appear on your behalf (physically or via video conference).
