Trademark Registration in India is very unfriendly

This query is : Resolved
Since January 2007 I have applied Trademark search in the form TM 54 for four different names four times. In reply I got a set of copy of all the names which is not even close to my search name in TM 54, yet a bunch of several pages copy was sent to me stated as close to representation of the name I have applied in TM54. In March 2007 I applied with due required fees in TM-1. In June 2008, I was given additional representation form with allotted number which I filed with required fees. In June 2009 I was sent another letter stating that my application is objected.
There is no body in the TM Delhi Office to whom I can contact and clarify my doubts and the staff members are very ignorant who acts as if they do not know anything and guides the public to contact the PRO who is very bussy at the meetings always.
Why can't Trademark Office, like Registrar who at first instance let the applicant know, whether the name is available or not, instead bitting the bush like TM Office, and how can I come to know if my name in TM54 is available or not. Please let me know, I do not trust TM Office now.

Your case is on right track. The Registrar had issued the objection and you have to file a reply. Thereafter your application will be published in the trade mark journal and if no opposition comes from any third party, then you will get the final registration.
So you need not worry. File your reply within time against the objection.
For any legal assistance, you can contact us.

Thank you Mr. Suman for your reply, unfortunately my time bar has expired in June 30th 2009 now I cannot do anything. I wish your reply came within my time period and I could take the said registration for my trademark in question.
However I thank you for kind co operation.
