EDP stands for "Electronic data Processing". It is a section at the trademark office which sorts all applications received and then scans, uploads and enter data for further examination. So if upon examination of your application there is some error in data entry (generally by the department itself) then the application is sent back to EDP for necessary corrections.

You are advised to wait for 3-5 days and then re-check the status. If there is no change contact your Agent or Trademark office to determine the exact problem.

EDP means Electronic Data Processing. When there is an error regarding data entry of applications the status is shown as sent back to EDP to rectify the error. This could happen when documents are not digitized properly. The EDP department will rectify the error. It may also happen if logo or device is not scanned properly. Once rectified , the application advances further for examination, publication and then registration as per the statute.
Alternatively, we can contact trademark registry to look into the matter and have it done for you.
