Pre-grant opposition is considered only after the filing of a request for examination by the applicant or any other party. The representation may be given at the appropriate office along with a statement and evidence in support of the opposition. A hearing can also be requested, if desired, but it is not mandatory. If the Controller decides that the application needs amendment or rejection, a notice shall be given to the applicant in this regard, which he must reply within a period of one month from the date of the notice, with a statement and evidence in support of his application. The case shall be decided normally within a month, on completion of the proceedings.
