The trademark objection defense refers to the legal act that the objector in a trademark objection case refutes the objection reasons in writing within the statutory time limit. When the trademark applied for registration passes the preliminary examination and enters the 3-month objection period after the announcement of preliminary examination, once it is objected by others, the trademark objection procedure will be started. The trademark applied for registration becomes an objected trademark, and even if a registration announcement has been published, the registration announcement is invalid.

whether the applicant can obtain the exclusive right to use the trademark depends on the trademark office's objection to the trademark. When a trademark is unqualified, a trademark objection can be raised during the period. Trademark objection refers to anyone who thinks that the trademark preliminarily approved by the Trademark Office to be announced is not legal and puts forward an opinion to the Trademark Office that it should not be registered within 3 months from the date of announcement.
