Counter Statement is required to be filed in such a space that it should enhance the distinguishness of the mark from the extra marks and help registrar make a positive picture re the issue in question.
Once the Registrar clears the protest the mark is then once more allowed to feat the journal for the surviving period of become old till a Registration endorse is issued.
