Trademark Objection Reply
Reply to examination reports under Sections 9 and 11 within the deadline.
Overview
After examination, the Registry issues an examination report raising objections — commonly Section 9 (descriptive or non-distinctive marks) or Section 11 (similarity with earlier marks). A reply must be filed within 30 days, or the application is treated as abandoned. Jurisync analyses the cited marks, builds distinctiveness and honest-concurrent-use arguments, and files a written reply with usage evidence and affidavits.

- Analysis of the examination report and cited marks
- Search of conflicting marks and their status

What you actually pay
Two separate components: Jurisync's professional fee (fixed, shown below) and any government or statutory charge (billed at actuals, receipt shared with you).
| Jurisync professional fee | ₹3,999 |
|---|---|
| Government / statutory charges | Nil at reply stage |
| Indicative timeline | 5–10 working days |
| Mode of delivery | Fully online across India — documents, approvals and final certificates through your Jurisync case workspace. |
Timelines depend on government portal processing and how quickly documents are provided; statutory approval always rests with the concerned authority.

Frequently asked
What if I miss the 30-day window?
The application may be marked abandoned; restoration is discretionary and needs a strong justification, so the deadline should never be missed.
Does a reply guarantee acceptance?
No. If the Examiner is not satisfied, the matter is listed for a show-cause hearing where oral submissions are made.
