What is a Trademark Objection?
A trademark objection is a formal notification that highlights issues with the trademark application that prevent it from getting registered, either from the Trademark Registry or a third party.
A trademark may be objected to under section 11 of trademarks Act of 1999 due to its identity and/or similarity with an earlier trade mark and identity and/or similarity of goods and services covered under the trademark.
