Objections Against Trademark Office Decisions

Based on the results of the examination of the declared trademark, Rospatent specialists make a reasoned decision. An interested individual has the right to appeal against this act.

Depending on the findings, experts make a decision:

• About registration of a trademark. Any person has the right to challenge the adopted act if he believes that the object does not meet the requirements for protection.
• On refusal to grant protection to a trademark. In this case, the owner of the designation has the right to appeal against the Rospatent act.

The listed types of objections are subject to the same requirements:

• The objection is submitted in person or through an authorized representative. Foreign persons act through a patent attorney.
• The document is drawn up in simple written form in Russian or with an attached translation.
• The text indicates the identification information of the person who applied, as well as the address for correspondence.
• An objection is filed against one trademark.
• The person states in the document the argumentation for his position.
• The document is signed by the applicant or representative.

After receiving the objection, it is considered by the specialists of the Patent Office. The results of consideration are presented in the form of an informed decision.
