Trademark objection is a process where the Trade Marks Registry raises an objection to the registration of a trademark. The objection can be raised for a number of reasons, such as the trademark being similar to an existing trademark, being descriptive in nature, or being against the public interest. The objection can be raised by the Examiner during the examination process or by a third party during the opposition process.

If a trademark objection is raised, the owner of the trademark has the opportunity to respond to the objection within a specific period of time. The response should address the concerns raised in the objection and provide evidence to support the registration of the trademark. The response can be filed online or in person at the Trade Marks Registry.

The response to the trademark objection should include the following:

1. A statement of facts: The response should provide a clear and concise statement of the facts regarding the trademark and its intended use. It should explain the meaning of the trademark and how it is different from other trademarks.
2. Evidence: The response should provide evidence to support the registration of the trademark. This could include market research, sales data, customer feedback, or any other relevant information that demonstrates the distinctiveness of the trademark.
3. Legal arguments: The response should include legal arguments to support the registration of the trademark. This could include arguments based on case law or the Trade Marks Act, 1999.
4. Amendments: If the objection is based on specific issues with the trademark, such as the description or wording, the response can include amendments to the trademark to address these issues.
