Trademark Objection

In India, after submitting your trademark application, the Trademark Office conducts a thorough examination. If the examiner discovers any problems with your application, they may make objections. The following are some common reasons for trademark complaints in India:

Similarity to Existing Trademarks: If your trademark is similar to an already registered trademark, particularly in the same class of products or services, the examiner may object.

Descriptive or Generic Trademarks: Trademarks that are solely descriptive of the goods or services they represent, or are generic in character, are likely to be challenged. Trademarks should be distinctive and capable of differentiating products or services from those of others.

Misleading or deceptive trademarks: Trademarks that mislead or deceive the public about the nature, quality, or geographical origin of goods or services may be challenged.

Incorrect Information: If the application details or supporting documents have inaccuracies or inconsistencies, the examiner may raise concerns.

Non-use: If you claim earlier use of the trademark but do not offer adequate evidence of such usage, the examiner may object.

Non-distinctiveness: If the trademark lacks distinctiveness or is overly common, it may be deemed invalid for registration
