What is a Trademark objection?

Trademark objection refers to a formal notice issued by a trademark office or authority indicating that there are concerns or issues with a trademark application. This objection typically occurs during the examination process after an applicant has submitted their trademark application. The objections may arise due to various reasons, such as similarity to existing trademarks, lack of distinctiveness, or failure to meet legal requirements. Upon receiving a trademark objection, the applicant is usually required to address the concerns raised by the examiner within a specified period. Failure to adequately respond to objections may result in the refusal of the trademark application.
