Overview

During examination, the registry may raise an objection to your trademark — commonly on absolute grounds (the mark is descriptive or non-distinctive) or relative grounds (it conflicts with an existing mark). You must respond within the prescribed time, usually 30 days.

CorpRaasta analyses the examination report and drafts a persuasive reply with legal grounds and precedents to keep your application alive.
