What is the meaning of trade mark application status “Advertised before acc”?

Posted by Archana Srinivasan on Tue, Dec 16 2014 19:09:00

The trade mark status in the Indian Trade Mark Registry website shows as “Advertised before acc” when the trade mark application has been advertised before acceptance in the Trade Mark Journal by the Registrar.(factors taken into consideration by the registrar for advertising the application in the trade mark journal) This is one of the final stages in the trade mark registration process.

The statute allows for any third parties to oppose the trade mark application within 4 months from the date of advertisement in the Trade Marks Journal. Where an application is Advertised before Acceptance and there is no opposition lodged during the opposition period, there is a procedural requirement for the application to be accepted by an Accepting Officer before the registration certificate is issued. Once accepted by the Accepting Officer, the trade mark status changes to “Accepted and Advertised” and then “Registered”. The registration certificate is usually issued in approximately 3 months upon expiry of opposition period.
