The trademark search will help in identifying the marks already registered and avoid the likelihood of confusion for the consumer related to the origin of the goods and/or services.

The module will help you learn about the required information while filing a Trademark application, the necessary documents, the classification of goods under Nice Classification, and why it is important to claim the use of a particular trademark.
Once the trademark application is filed, it may be rejected by the Registrar of Trademarks. A trademark application can be refused registration on either absolute or relative grounds as provided under Sections 9 and 11 respectively.
We shall also be learning about the acquired distinctiveness of a trademark and what are some of the prohibited trademarks under the Trademark Act, 1999.
Once the application is filed and when all formalities are in order, the TM application will be examined. Once examined, the Trademark Office will issue an examination report. The process of examination of a trademark and response to objections raised will be dealt with in this module.
In this module, we will learn about trademark opposition. Once the application is scrutinized by the Examiner and he is of the opinion that the trademark can be registered, the application is advertised in the Trademark Journal. It is advertised to call for opposition (if any) from the general public.
