The application can then be tracked online. After obtaining the allotment number, the owner of the trademark can use the TM symbol next to the logo.
2. Vienna codification
The Vienna codification established by the Vienna agreement (1973) is an international classification of the figurative elements of marks. After the trademark application is filed, the trademark registrar will apply the Vienna classification to the trademark based on the figurative elements of marks. While this takes place, the trademark application status usually reflects as "with Vienna codification".
3. Trademark Examination
Once the Vienna codification is complete, the trademark registration application will be allotted to an officer in the trademark registrar office. The trademark officer would then review the trademark application for correctness and issue a trademark examination report. The officer will either accept the application and allow for journal publication or object the same.
4. Objection
If the trademark registration application is objected by the Trademark Officer, the trademark applicant has the right to appear before the officer and address the objections. If the officer is satisfied with the justifications of the trademark applicant, the trademark would be allowed for trademark journal publication. In case the officer is not satisfied with the justifications, the trademark applicant has the right to appeal the decision of the Trademark officer before the Intellectual Property Appellate Board.
5. Follow Quick Process
Once the trademark registration application is accepted by the registrar, the proposed mark is published in the trademark journal. The trademark journal is published weekly and contains all the trademarks that have been accepted by the registrar. Once it is published, the public have an opportunity to object to a particular registration, if they believe their business will be damaged by that registration. If there are no objections filed within 90 days of that publication, the mark will typically be registered within 12 weeks’ time. If the trademark registration application is opposed by a third-party, a hearing will be called for by the trademark hearing officer. Both the applicant and the opposing party have the chance to appear at the hearing and provide justifications for registration or rejection of the trademark application. Based on the hearings and the evidence presented, the hearing officer will determine if the application should be accepted or rejected. The decision of the hearing officer can also be challenged by escalating it to the Intellectual Property Appellate Board.
6. Trademark Registration
If there are no objections to the application, the trademark manuscript and trademark registration certificate will be prepared. Later the trademark registration certificate is issued, the mark is considered to be a registered trademark of the owner, granting the owner exclusive use of the mark. The Registered symbol can now be placed next to the logo.
