Objections to your trade mark can either be made by IP Australia when filing your application, or by another trader during the trade mark process.
Objections can be made on many grounds but the most common are:
Your trade mark is either identical or too similar to another registered or pending trade mark or an international owner seeking or which has gained protection in Australia;
There is likely to be confusion or deception caused to another trade mark already registered;
If you’re not the true owner of the applied trade mark.
