Once an application for registration of Trademark is filed by the applicant, it would be scrutinized by the Registry of Trademark and if the Mark, Name or logo, in respect of which the application is filed, is similar with an registered Trademark then Registry of Trademark oppose the Registration of such Trademark and provide a reasonable opportunity to the applicant to file an appropriate reply against such objection.

Third party can also raise objection against the registration of Trademark if he has sufficient ground to oppose. The status of Trademark application shows “Objected” if an objection is raised against such application. When the trade mark application is objected, it is stipulated that a response should be filed within one month from the date of receipt of Examination Report. Otherwise, the trade mark application will be abandoned by the Trade Mark Registry due to lack of prosecution.
