Trade-mark Applicant in the above case is French Connection Limited...
2. IP India - IP India is a government body that provides every information related to Intellectual Property and it-s a body that regulates the rules and functioning of various Intellectual Properties, Trademark being one of those IP Rights.
3. Trademark Registry - Trademark Registry is a government Registry that comes under IP India and it takes care of Trademark Registration process from the very inception to the very end and it is an organisation that keeps a check on the various Trade-mark related Activities done on daily basis. Trade-mark Registry includes a wide variety of staff like examiners, registrars etc, that are continuously working towards providing approval and disapproval of Trademarks.
4. Trademark Class - Trademark Classes or Trademark Classifications in simple terms mean that the IP registry has divided all types of businesses into certain sectors, in total there are 45 TM Classes that defines all sorts of business activities. First 34 Trademark Classes are Manufacturing based Classifications and the next 11 Classes are service based Trademark Classes.

5. TM Status - In simple terms trademark status can be considered as the Stages a Trade-mark passes during the process of Registration. Some of the most common stages during the process are as follows :-
   • New TM Application - We can call it the Inception of a New Trademark Application basically it is the initiation of Trade-mark Registration Process. Every mark has to be filed via New Application, even the FCUK mark filed for a New TM Application.
   • Send To Vienna Codification- This stage arise when there is a Device Logo Trademark to be filed and during this process the design of the logo is basically codified as per the standards laid down under Vienna Agreement. After New Application FCUK Trademark status would become this.
   • Formality Check Pass - If all the documents are submitted to the Government Department and the information provided is completely correct then the mark status changes from Send To Vienna Codification to FCP. At Company Vakil we ensure that wordmarks or logos like FCUK, filed via our portal always gets through the stage of Formality check Pass without any failures.
   • Examination Report Issued - This stage arise post FCP when the TM passes to the next level i.e. the mark has reached the Examiner and the examiner has released the report and the result is about to be published. The next level for FCUK TM would be to clear the Examiner's quality check and wait for the exam report to be issued on the same.
   • Objected - One of the major stages during the Trade-mark approval process is of Trade-mark Objection, i.e. it's the point at which a brand actually gets stuck due to certain structural, phonetic similarities or maybe due to non-distinctive nature of the mark. Company Vakil Experts are highly specialized in drafting Trademark Objection Replies, so feel free to reach us if you are stuck over the same. If FCUK Mark has some similarity to other marks in the same category or is non-distinctive in nature then the registrar has the full reason to Object the same, until further reply over the same.
   • Advertised before Acceptance - Once a Trade-mark passes the Registrar's Examination, then the same is advertised in the journal for a period of 4 months, during that time period the TM Status stays as Advertised before Acceptance. As the examiner clears of marks like FCUK, they automatically get promoted and published in the journal for 4 months.
   • Opposed - This arises only when a 3rd party files an opposition against the trademark filed by the applicant. A mark can be opposed only during the 4 months period of its advertisement in the journal. Company Vakil Experts can help you fight the same and protect you brand because if any 3rd Party feels FCUK Trade-mark is infringing upon their rights then they are fully eligible to Oppose the same on those grounds.
   • Accepted and Advertised - Once the 4 Month window ends or the opposition proceedings goes in applicant's favour, then on that moment the mark gets Accepted and Advertised, now this means that the registry has accepted the TM and it has been advertised in the journal as well. So after completion of 4 months at Advertised before Acceptance Status FCUK would move to Accepted and Advertised in the journal.
   • Registered - This is the final point of any Trade-mark Application filed, once all the above pointers are passed, then finally a mark reaches the Registration stage and the mark become eligible to use - "R" symbol next to it. This is the full and final Stage for marks like FCUK and once the applicant receives the Certificate, the Brand is Treated as an asset of the applicant i.e. French Connection Limited..
   • Refused - if a mark is questionable on certain rules under the law, then the IP Indian Registry has full right to refuse the TM from being processed and this status shows up next to the applied TM.
   • Removed - When a mark is removed from the official Register of TM Registry by the Registrar, then TM Status is shown as Removed next to the concerned mark.
   • Rectification filed - In certain cases some Trademarks get through all the stages of Trade-mark Registration, but if someone feels that the Registered mark has some issues or is infringing upon a certain brand, then the concerned person has the full right and option to file a Rectification against the same. Post the stage of Registration if someone wishes to challenge FCUK Trademark then they would have to file a Rectification for the same.
   • Abandoned - There are many reasons for abandonment some of the major prominent ones are like If a mark surpasses the 10 years time period of validity and it-s not renewed within the given period or if a certain reply has to be given at some stage of the tm process and the same is not provided within a particular time period then the Trade-mark can be abandoned by the registry. If after Registration FCUK Brand isn't renewed on completion of 10 years or its owner French Connection Limited.. neglects any of the required compliance during the process of Registration then it can get abandoned.
   • Withdrawn - At time TM Owners themselves withdraw the applied TM due to some or other reason, at that moment WITHDRAWN Status is shown for the same. The Applicant French Connection Limited.. has full right to withdraw FCUK from the Registry.

So, as explained above the Current TM Status of FCUK is Opposed. Any further updates or changes in the Trademark Status of FCUK Brand i.e. under the ownership of French Connection Limited.. would be displayed on our platform.
