Common questions

What happens if I don't respond to an examination report?

The application is treated as abandoned after the deadline passes, and you would need to file afresh.

How long do I have to respond?

Typically 30 days from the date the examination report is issued.

What's the difference between an objection and an opposition?

An objection comes from the examiner during review; an opposition is filed by a third party after the mark is published in the journal.
