Trademark Renewal and Objection Handling involves the process of renewing an existing trademark registration and responding to objections or oppositions raised against it. While the process itself is usually straightforward, businesses commonly run into avoidable issues along the way. Here are the mistakes we see most often, and how to steer clear of them.
Mistake 1
Missing the renewal deadline and risking removal from the register.
Mistake 2
Ignoring an opposition notice within its response window.
Mistake 3
Weak evidence submitted in response to an objection.
Mistake 4
Not monitoring the trademark journal for oppositions against your mark.
How to Avoid These Issues
Most of these mistakes come down to preparation. Having the right documents ready — Existing registration certificate and renewal due date, Proof of continued use of the mark, if required, Objection or opposition notice details, if applicable, among others — and understanding the process before you start goes a long way toward a smooth outcome with the Trade Marks Registry.
Quick Reference: What You'll Need
- Existing registration certificate and renewal due date
- Proof of continued use of the mark, if required
