I am having trademark issues with my brand, my initial application was knocked back and I have had some bad experiences with IP lawyers
I own a brand called Glimmr (No "e" between the 'm' and 'r')
My recent trademark application was knocked back, unfortunately.
The below are the reasons;
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

2297854: GLIMMER for non-medicated grooming preparations for dogs, namely, dog shampoo, dog coat grooming chalk, and dog coat finishing spray;
2846711: GLIMMER BRONZE (with “BRONZE” disclaimed) for cosmetics, namely face shimmer powder and body shimmer powder.
My trademark application was as followed:

The literal element of the mark consists of GLIMMR. The mark consists of standard characters,
without claim to any particular font style, size, or color.
2. Your serial number. Your application was assigned serial number '88473514'. You must refer to
your serial number in all communications about your application.

I was told, "The chances of all three refusals being withdrawn are slim". What is the best way around this? I was thinking of adding an icon to the logo of some sort. For examples please search "Glossier logo icon" on google and you will see a "G" that is a little abstract with the word glossier underneath.
I need to organise this application as soon as possible.
Depends on why you are getting refused. What is it that makes them refuse your product? Maybe look into that and try correcting the issues! Good luck!
