My trademark application has an objection. What response and evidence are needed for the grounds raised?
Read the examination report: objections are on absolute grounds (section 9 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999: the mark is descriptive, lacks distinctiveness or is customary in the trade) or relative grounds (section 11: it conflicts with an earlier mark). File a written reply within one month of receiving the report, answering each ground. For section 9, show distinctiveness, including distinctiveness acquired through use: invoices, advertising, sales figures and an affidavit of use. For section 11, distinguish the marks and the goods or services, or rely on honest concurrent use or the earlier owner’s consent. If the examiner is not satisfied, a show-cause hearing is fixed. Filing and appearance are by the applicant or a registered trade mark agent or advocate.
