Guided answer

Trade mark deadlines are short. An examination report and a notice of opposition follow different rules - work out which one you have first.

An examination report from the Trade Marks RegistryYes← back a step

What is the main objection about?

AThe mark is descriptive or not distinctive (section 9)BA similar earlier mark has been cited (section 11)CFormalities - class, description of goods, user affidavit, authorisation

Not sure whether this applies to your invention?

The honest answer usually needs someone to look at your actual disclosure, your timeline and the prior art. That is a conversation, not an article.
