ABSOLUTE GROUNDS FOR REJECTION
Registrar can reject the trade mark application under Sec 9 on absolute ground on following basis:

 If mark is devoid of any distinctive character, e.g. where any character of any language or any
shape has not been especially designed or visible.

 Any mark which shows just kind, quality, quantity or intended purpose of any goods, e.g.
trademark of any goods can’t be “500 gram”

 Mark consisting of marks or indications which are customary in current language, e.g. OMG
(abbreviation of Oh My God) cannot be trade mark.

 However where trademark which bears distinctive character because of its use, or is well-
known to public is allowed, e.g. “Sugar-free” mark shows just quality but still allowed because
this product is well-known to public.

 If a mark is capable to deceive or cause confusion to public, or hurt religious susceptibility, or


is obscene, it will not be registered.
