Hearing: If the registry is not satisfied with our reply, they shall fix up a hearing and we need to appear on the specific date with the supportive evidence and argue our case.

Response to Notice: As already said, we need to a legal reply within 30 days from the receipt of the examination report. The reply should state the facts and rezoning showcasing our side merits. The reply shall be drafted in a manner which can build supportive grounds and able to give proper logics why the mark applied for is unique in nature and does not fail to comply with the provisions of the Trademark Act.

Appeal: If the Trademark Application is refused the aggrieved party may move an appeal petition before the Intellectual Property appellate board, shortly called as IPAB.
