Objections and oppositions in a Madrid System filing
Sometimes the trademarks office in one of your selected countries raises an objection to your application, or a third party files an opposition. When that happens, Marcaria.com will let you know right away so you can decide whether you want to respond.
Costs
Responding to an objection or opposition is a separate service. Its fee is not included in the fee you paid to file the Madrid System application.
Effect on your registration
While the objection or opposition is pending, the registration process for that country is on hold. It moves forward again only if the trademarks office in that country accepts the response.
