what will be the grounds of the trade mark objections

Question

what will be the grounds of the trade mark objections



Answer

That is a bit too broad. What are the facts?



Answer

I'll say! Objections to what? There are many different possible grounds for objecting to someone's trademark application. Objections can be raised by the USPTO staff or by third parties. Provide several paragraphs of specifics, please.



Answer

As a Franchise Attorney with experience in trademarks, I can give you some general grounds for objections raised on an initial registration application. These are: (1) that the mark, or substantially similar mark is used and owned by a third party; (2) that the mark is generic; and (3) that the mark is descriptive. Consult with a good trademark or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
