Overview

A Response to an Office Action is a formal legal submission made to the Intellectual Property (IP) Registry. It is required when an examiner raises an objection (such as Section 9 or 11 for trademarks) against your application.

Businesses need this service when their trademark or patent application is marked as "Objected." It is a critical step in the registration process; failing to respond within the 30- day window results in the "Abandonment" of the application.

Legally, the response must use "case law" and evidence of use to prove that the mark or invention is unique and deserves protection. It covers the risk of losing your brand name or invention to a competitor due to procedural or legal hurdles.
