Can the supplementary materials for trademark objections be used to add reasons?

Yes.

Since there are no detailed procedural rules in trademark administration, applicants and agencies generally try to do whatever they want and submit "supplementary evidence" to the Trademark Office every once in a while. This practice later became a common practice, and many trademark attorneys submitted "supplementary materials" again after filing objections.

In fact, this approach goes against the basic principles of civil litigation (administrative litigation generally adopts the procedures of civil litigation). Suppose: the opponent submits an objection application with relevant reasons, and the application is served to the opponent, and the opponent responds according to the reasons in the objection application; during this period, the opponent submits new reasons, These reasons are usually no longer conveyed to the objected party, and the objected party only has one opportunity to respond and cannot respond to new reasons that cannot be seen. This is a procedural injustice.

But currently, as an applicant and a trademark agency, you can do this.
