Design Objection

Overview

The Controller of Patents and Designs may raise objections to a design application after examination on grounds including: the design is not new or original (prior art exists), the design is not registrable (purely functional, obscene, or contrary to public order), the representations are inadequate or do not clearly show the design, or formal requirements are not met.

MFiling prepares well-reasoned responses to design objections with evidence of novelty, comparative analysis of cited prior designs, correct amended representations where required, and legal arguments establishing that the design meets all registrability criteria under the Designs Act, 2000. Our IP team is experienced in addressing all common objection types — including inadequate representation resubmissions and novelty arguments against cited prior art.

MFiling professional charges: from Rs.2,999 per objection response.
