Common reasons include similarity to existing trademarks, lack of distinctiveness, descriptive nature of the mark, and violation of public morality or deceptive marks.

While it's not mandatory, hiring a trademark attorney or agent can significantly improve the chances of a successful resolution due to their expertise in trademark law and procedures.

If objections are not resolved satisfactorily, the trademark application may be rejected, and the applicant can file an appeal within the prescribed timeframe.

The timeline for resolving trademark objections varies depending on the complexity of the objections and the responsiveness of the applicant. It can take several months to a year or more for a final decision to be reached.

To minimize the likelihood of trademark objections, conduct comprehensive trademark searches before filing an application, ensure the distinctiveness and uniqueness of your mark, and seek guidance from a trademark professional throughout the application process.
