What Happens After Filing?
After submitting a trade mark application, the process doesn’t stop there. Many applications face challenges before reaching registration, often in the form of office actions — formal communications from the trade mark office raising legal or procedural concerns. Without the right response, these can delay or jeopardise your application.
Other post-filing issues that may arise include:
- Oppositions: Other brands challenging your mark during publication
- Unclear Scope: Risk of narrowing your protection if not handled properly
- Deadlines & Status Tracking: Missing a response window could lead to abandonment
