Adverse Reports

Once the respective government office has examined your application, they will issue an 'acceptance' letter if there are no problems. We will then report this to you and advise on the 'next step'.

If problems are found, such as similar marks already in existence or your trademark is not registrable for some reason, the respective government department will issue an 'adverse' report, which will list the matters that require attention.

We will report these matters to you, along with providing you the information required to overcome the problems. We can then of course assist you in responding appropriately to the adverse report. The time given to respond to such a report will vary depending on the country. In Australia you will be given 15 months to respond and finalise your application.

If all matters are resolved within the allowed time frame, you will then receive an acceptance letter.
