Once you have filed trademark application it must be notified in journal after examination and acceptance by the registry. Once it is published in the journal any person may oppose the same and has to file a Notice of Opposition (TM Form 5)within 3 months with a further extendable period of 1 month i.,e (totally 4 months). You may check the date of publication of your mark in the journal and check whether the objection (opposition) has been filed within 3+1 (4 month) period.
