The authority will examine your application and contact you in case they’ve any questions regarding your documents and proposed mark. Our legal associates will send appropriate statements and replies to the FSC with your explicit consent. If the authority is satisfied with your application, then they will publish your trademark to invite third party oppositions for three months. In case your application is objected to, the authority will notify us, and subsequently, we’ll send a counterstatement to support your claim for the proposed trademark.
