Trademark Registration : Can we file TM for an objected trademark


25-Oct-2023 (In Trademark & Copyright Law)
I wanted to file a TM application for the Class 42, for my Company, but other company filed the application for the word mark (Initials of my Company name) under that same category before I do. My company incorporated date is 13th May 2019, and other party(other company) filed the TM application on 22nd July 2019 (after 76 days of my company incorporation & Initials word of my company name), and their TM application OBJECTED. #My Question : #1: Can I file for that same word mark (my company initial word) under same TM Class 42, that has been Objected (TM application of Other Party) ? #2: What will be the STATUS of my TM application if I file TM application ? #3 : Does the Incorporation of my Company Date makes My Case Strong (other party filed TM app. of my company initial word, after 76 days ) ?

1. Yes you can file
2. It's a prosecution thing so it will go stage wise. Whatever the status will be it can be challenged.
3. Yes it does. More if you are doing continuous business since incorporation.
