Guided answer
Trademark: my application was objected to or opposed. What now?
Trade mark deadlines are short. An examination report and a notice of opposition follow different rules - work out which one you have first.
Take advice today - the two-month period may have passed.
Urgent - a deadline or loss of rights may be close
- Section 21(2) treats the application as abandoned if the counter-statement is not filed in time.
- Confirm the exact date the opposition was served on you.
- Do not assume an extension is available.
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.
