OVERVIEW

What to know before taking the next step.

The appropriate response depends on the objection, claimed ownership, work type and procedural stage.

Eligibility and scope notes

  • Scope depends on the mark or work, ownership, intended goods/services, filing status, deadlines and current registry procedure. No filing guarantees acceptance or exclusive rights.
  • A registry deficiency or examination objection is different from a dispute over ownership or infringement; later representation is separately scoped.
