Common mistakes to avoid
Avoidable filing errors that cause delays or rejection. Each can be resolved before submission.
- 1Proposing a descriptive or generic brand name (Section 9 objection)Why: Trade Marks Act prohibits registering words that merely describe the product's character or quality (e.g. 'Pure Cold Pressed Oil').Fix: We conduct pre-filing distinctiveness evaluation and suggest distinctive, coined, or arbitrary brand elements.
- 2Filing without a prior phonetic and visual trademark searchWhy: Existing registered or pending marks in the same or related Nice class trigger Section 11 relative grounds objections.Fix: Our IP attorneys run exhaustive phonetic searches on the IP India database across all 45 classes before filing.
- 3Selecting incorrect Nice Class or vague goods specificationWhy: Protection is strictly bounded by the classes filed; incorrect classification leaves your primary offerings unprotected.Fix: We draft precise, legally audited goods and services specifications matching international Nice Classification standards.
