We discuss about #TrademarkApplicationStatus, let’s first understand the meaning of Trademark. A #Trademark is a type of symbol, name, word, slogan, or phrase that states a particular product and thereby separates it from all the other products available in the market. Trademark is something that recognizes the ownership of a country’s brand. It is always advisable to choose a trademark that easy to explain and remember. To register your Trademark, you need to file an application for the #TrademarkRegistration to the Trademark Registry. And after submitting all the documents and application form, you can check the Trademark Application Status regularly online at the website.

Now let’s discuss the Different #TypesofTrademarkApplicationStatus.

1 New Application: When the status shows (#NewApplication),” that 
means the trademark application has been received for further examination. This is the starting phase of the #TrademarkApplication. 

2 Send to Vienna Codification: This trademark status is a globally acknowledged standard for logos and their elements. The code is assigned on the basis of the nature of symbolic elements in the logo. 

3 Formality Check Fail: In case the Trademark Registry finds any issue with the documents that were primarily submitted with the Trademark application by the applicant, then the status will show “Formality Check Fail”. 
4 Formality Check Pass: This status means that all the documents submitted along with the trademark application by the applicant are accepted by the Trademark Registry. 
5 Objected: If the status is shown this, it simply means that the examiner has raised objections with regard to the Trademark and its registration.
6 Abandoned or Refused: This status will only show if the examiner is not satisfied with the response given by the applicant to the Examination Report or even after the show cause hearing, the examiner will stamp the trademark application as “Abandoned or Refused”. 
7 Opposed: Once the Trademark is published and advertised in the Trademark Journal, the public is given a period of three to four months to respond in terms of opposition to the Trademark. After the specified period, such opposition will not be considered. But, if there is opposition from any third-party, the trademark status will be showed as “Opposed”. 
8 Marked for Exam: After a initial round of examination, if the Trademark gets a “Formalities Check Pass”, it will be sent to a Trademark Examiner who will examine all the related documents along with the Trademark Application to make sure that the application is perfect in all aspects. 
9 Advertised Before Accepted: There are some cases where the Trademark Application Status shows “#AdvertisedBeforeAccepted”, which means the Registrar of Trademark is not convinced of the nature of that specific Trademark. 
10 Accepted and Advertised: It shows only if the Trademark Registry is satisfied with the suggested Trademark and thereby permits the Trademark to be registered in the Trademark journal as it is distinct enough to be recognized as a trademark. 
11 Withdrawn: Once the status showed “Opposed”, then the applicant has an option to fight the opposition case. If the applicant doesn’t want to fight the opposition case, they can voluntarily withdraw the application, and the trademark application status will show “Withdrawn”. 
12 Registered: Once the application for Trademark Registration successfully completes all the stages of examination and also clears the “Accepted and Advertised” stage, a Registration Certificate will be issued to the applicant against their application by the Registry of Trademark.
13 Removed: If a trademark is not used for the next five years after the issuance of the Trademark Registration Certificate, or in a case where the owner of a trademark forgets to renew the Trademark, it can be removed or refused for the Trademark Journal. That’s why it is important to provide clear documents to avoid any delay in the Trademark Registration.
