- TRADEMARK RECTIFICATION
Trademark registration is a form of intellectual property protection that grants businesses exclusive rights to use a unique visual symbol or word. This helps distinguish their products or services from similar offerings by other businesses. To register a trademark, the applicant must submit a trademark application to the appropriate trade marks registrar in the prescribed format.
Once the application is filed, the registrar reviews and processes it. If any issues arise during the examination, the examiner may flag the application and request corrections. After resolving these concerns, the trademark examiner may approve the application for advertisement prior to registration. However, the examiner also holds the authority to raise objections against the registration if necessary.
If the Trade Mark Registrar deems an application incomplete or imperfect, the applicant is provided an opportunity to revise and resubmit it. The rectification must address the specific issues highlighted by the examiner, accompanied by a clear explanation of the facts and reasons for the initial disapproval. Once the examiner is satisfied that all concerns have been resolved, the application will be processed and marked for further inspection, leading to the issuance of a trademark examination report.

It is crucial to have an expert review and amend the trademark application to address the concerns raised by a Trademark Examiner. An experienced professional ensures all issues are resolved effectively, enabling a successful trademark registration through precise and accurate filing.
It is important to note that filing a trademark rectification does not guarantee trademark registration. The registration process follows a specific procedure, and approval is granted solely at the discretion of the Trademark Registrar based on the facts and merits of each case. However, we leverage our extensive experience and expertise to address the Registrar’s concerns diligently, ensuring the best possible outcome for your application.
After filing a trademark rectification, it is essential to monitor the status of the trademark application regularly to track its progress on the government’s end. Trademark registration involves several time-sensitive actions required from the applicant. Therefore, frequent status checks and prompt responses are crucial to ensure smooth processing and successful registration.
The Trade Mark Journal serves as the official gazette of the Trade Marks Registry. If the Trademark Examiner determines that the application is acceptable, it will be published in the Trademark Journal for advertisement. During this period, third parties have the opportunity to file objections and oppose the trademark registration.
Under the Trademark Act, any individual can file a notice of opposition against a trademark application within 4 months from the date the trademark was advertised or re-advertised in the Trademark Journal. Upon receiving the notice of opposition, the applicant must file and submit a counterstatement to the Registrar within 2 months.
