Scope

What’s included

  • Reading of the examination report and the grounds cited
  • Review of the cited conflicting marks and their current status
  • Drafting of the reply with supporting evidence of use
  • Filing of the response within the Registry's deadline
  • Preparation and briefing for a show-cause hearing
  • Counter-statement drafting where a third party has opposed

Everything above is covered by the professional fee. Anything outside it is quoted before we start it, never after.

Who it suits

Applicants whose trademark has been objected to by the examiner or opposed by another proprietor.

If that does not describe you, say so before you commit — there is usually a lighter filing that does the job, and we would rather point you at it.

Cost

What it costs

Our professional fee

from ₹4,999

+ government fees at actuals

What we charge for the work itself — preparing your paperwork, filing it, and following it through to the authority's response. Confirmed in writing before anything starts.

Government & statutory fees

At actuals

Charged separately from our fee and paid to the relevant authority. They vary by state, by authorised capital, and by the slab you fall into, so we confirm the exact figures once we know your specifics.

Professional fees only. Trade Marks Registry fees for the filing, and separate hearing or counter-statement fees where they apply, are charged at actuals.

We do not quote the two together as one number. They are charged by different parties and only one of them is ours. Fees shown on this site are indicative pending confirmation, and you will have both figures in writing before you decide.

Process

How it runs

  1. Scope and quote

    We confirm what you actually need, what our professional fee covers, and which government fees will apply in your case — in writing, before any work begins.

  2. Documents

    We send a checklist, then review everything you send back before it goes anywhere. Most delays start with a document, not with the authority.

  3. Preparation and filing

    We prepare and file the Trademark Objection Reply paperwork, then track the application and respond to any queries raised on it.

    Draft shared within 5–7 working days and filed inside the Registry's deadline; any hearing date is then set by the Registry.

  4. Handover

    You receive every acknowledgement and certificate the authority issues, along with a plain-English note on what falls due next and when.

Processing time is set by the relevant authority, not by us. We can file promptly and follow up, but the approval itself sits with the department handling it.

Questions

Asked before you asked

  • Does an objection mean my trademark is refused?

    No. An objection is the examiner asking you to justify the mark, and a well-argued reply often clears it. Missing the deadline is the real risk — the application can be treated as abandoned.

  • How long do I have to reply?

    The Registry sets the window in the examination report, commonly 30 days from when it is issued. Send it to us as soon as you receive it so there is time to build the reply.

  • What if someone opposes my mark after publication?

    Opposition is a separate contested proceeding with its own timeline. We prepare the counter-statement and evidence, and tell you upfront how involved it is likely to become.

The advisor gives general guidance, not binding legal or tax advice, and it does not file anything on your behalf. A chartered accountant reviews anything that matters.
