What Your Trademark Status Means and What to Do
An application moves through several statuses before and after registration. Here is what each one means and whether you need to act.
| Status | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| New Application | The application has just been filed and given a number. | Nothing yet. You can use the TM symbol. |
| Send to Vienna Codification | Your logo is being assigned Vienna codes so it can be searched. Applies to logo marks. | Nothing to do. |
| Formalities Chk Pass | The application passed the preliminary check of documents and details. | Nothing to do. It will be examined next. |
| Formalities Chk Fail | Something is missing or incorrect, such as a document, signature or fee. | File the correction within the time given, or the application can be abandoned. |
| Marked for Exam | The application is waiting for an examiner to review it. | Nothing to do yet. |
| Objected / Exam Report Issued | The examiner has raised objections, usually under Section 9 or Section 11. | File a reply within 30 days of receiving the examination report. |
| Ready for Show Cause Hearing | The reply did not fully satisfy the examiner and a hearing will be scheduled. | Prepare for the hearing and attend on the given date. |
| Accepted | The examiner has accepted the application. | It will be advertised in the Trade Marks Journal. |
| Accepted & Advertised | The mark is published in the Trade Marks Journal and is open to opposition for 4 months. | Watch for oppositions. If none, it proceeds to registration. |
| Advertised before Accepted | The Registrar has published the mark before formal acceptance, so it is open to opposition. | Watch for oppositions. |
| Opposed | A third party has filed an opposition after the mark was advertised. | File a counter-statement within 2 months of receiving the notice of opposition, or the application is treated as abandoned. |
| Registered | The trademark is registered. You can use the ® symbol. | Download the certificate and renew every 10 years. |
| Refused | The Registrar has refused the application, usually after a hearing. | Get advice quickly on a review or appeal, or on filing a fresh application. |
| Abandoned | The application lapsed, usually because a reply or counter-statement was not filed in time. | Get advice quickly. In some cases it can be revived; otherwise a fresh application is needed. |
| Withdrawn | The applicant withdrew the application. | File a fresh application if you still want protection. |
| Removed | A registered mark was removed from the register, usually for not being renewed. | It can be restored within a year of expiry. |
| Under Correction | A request to correct or amend the application or registration is being processed. | Nothing to do unless the Registry asks for more information. |
| Rectification Filed | Someone has applied to cancel or change the registered mark. | File a counter-statement within the time allowed to defend the registration. |
