Trademark Hearing
When a trademark matter escalates to a hearing — whether for an objected application, opposition, or rectification — you need experienced counsel. Our trademark attorneys appear before IP India on your behalf.
What is Trademark Hearing?
A Trademark Hearing is a proceeding before the Registrar of Trade Marks (or a senior officer) where the applicant or opponent argues the merits of a case. Hearings are scheduled for: (1) examination report objections not resolved in writing, (2) oppositions filed by third parties, (3) rectification or cancellation proceedings.

Frequently asked questions
Can hearings be attended virtually?
Yes. IP India allows virtual hearings via video conferencing for most matters. Our attorney can appear virtually or physically as required.
What if the Registrar rules against me?
You can appeal to the Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB) or, following its abolition, directly to the High Court. We advise on the best course of action.
How much notice do I get for a hearing date?
IP India typically provides 30–60 days notice. We monitor your application and alert you as soon as a hearing is scheduled.
