The trademark application progresses through various stages, with the Registry Examination being a pivotal one. An examiner scrutinizes the application for errors and verifies adherence to the Trade Marks Act and its regulations.

After the review, the examiner issues an examination report with comments. If the application complies with all requirements and there are no issues with existing trademarks, it moves forward to publication in the Journal. However, if objections or conflicts arise, the examiner will issue a notice to the applicant or their attorney, who must provide a response justifying why the application should continue to the next phase. Failure to address these objections can lead to the abandonment of the application, making it necessary for the applicant to reply to the examination report issued by the Registry.
