Hearing Success
Final Stage
Representation
Don't attend the hearing alone.
A Hearing is scheduled by the Trademark Registrar when the written reply (Objection) or counter-statement (Opposition) is deemed insufficient. This requires mandatory physical/virtual attendance by a legal representative (Trademark Attorney) to present oral arguments.
The Hearing is typically the final opportunity to convince the Examiner/Officer that your mark is distinctive and not conflicting. Failure to attend results in the application being deemed abandoned.
The Trademark Hearing Officer is looking for legal justification and case-law support. Attending without a Trademark Attorney is highly risky.
Our Representation Includes:
Citing legal precedents from High Courts.
Filing final 'Evidence of Use' documents.
Arguing the distinctive nature of your brand.
Analysis of all documents and preparation of the final legal submission (Written Arguments) for the hearing.
Representation before the Registrar/Officer by a seasoned Trademark Attorney specializing in IP litigation.
Filing of necessary affidavits or forms as directed by the Hearing Officer to ensure final approval.
Provide these for immediate defense prep:
Registrar issues the hearing notice with the date and time.
We file the final 'Written Arguments' and a request for adjournment (if needed).
Our attorney attends the virtual/physical hearing on your behalf.
Registrar issues the final order (Acceptance or Refusal). If successful, mark is advertised.
