How do I protect this mark or work, or respond to this objection or opposition?
For a trade mark, search the register first, then apply in the right class under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. If the examination report raises an objection, reply within one month, with evidence of use or distinctiveness, and attend the show-cause hearing if one is fixed. After acceptance the mark is advertised in the Trade Marks Journal, and anyone may oppose it within four months; the applicant then files a counter-statement within two months. Registration lasts ten years and can be renewed. Copyright exists without registration, but registration under the Copyright Act, 1957 is useful evidence. Filings and hearings are handled by the applicant or a registered trade mark agent or advocate (section 145); keep proof of first use and of the creation of the work.
