My trademark application in India currently shows the status “Send Back to EDP”. Could you explain when and why this status appears, and what steps I need to take to resolve it? Will this affect the application’s timeline, or put it at risk?

“Send Back to EDP” means the application was returned to the Electronic Data Processing (EDP) section for technical corrections. This usually happens when there are errors in the submitted documents or data. You’ll receive a communication from the Trademark Office outlining the specific issues. Addressing these issues promptly and resubmitting the application will minimize any delay in the processing.
