TRADE MARK OBJECTIONS
Respond to Trade Mark Office Actions
2/3 of trade mark applications face objections from the Examiner. Don’t panic! We have substantial experience with advising on how to overcome the objections.
What are Office Actions?
Office Actions mean the trade mark application is not currently in line with trade mark law. The Examiner will give reasons in their letter detailing why the trade mark was not registrable. There is a chance for us to overcome this objection including but not limited to filing a response arguing that the trade mark application is able to be registered.
Common Objections
For example, the wording in the specification of the trade mark application was vague.
Trade mark application may lead the public to be confused in relation to other earlier trade marks. Application is identical or similar to a prior trade mark application and/or registration in respect of identical or similar goods and/or services, and there is a likelihood of confusion.
Use of the trade mark for the goods or services claimed may deceive the public.
There are also other objections which are not listed. We are happy to discuss your trade mark application with you and suggest any solutions as well as the chances of success.
