If the UK Intellectual Property Office does not approve the international application for a Madrid trademark, it will issue a temporary refusal review opinion. The response period for the temporary refusal is two months from the date of the refusal opinion issued by the trademark authority. It is possible to request an extension of the deadline. Foreign applicants applying for a UK trade mark through the Madrid route must appoint a UK representative to submit their response. After you submit your response to the provisional denial, you may choose to amend or appeal the provisional denial.
