Common reasons a report is turned down
- The mark is registered for goods or services the account has nothing to do with.
- The registration number, office or owner name did not match the record.
- The report was filed by someone without proof they act for the owner.
- The account uses the word in a normal sense, not as your brand.
What to do next
- Save the reply from Instagram with its date.
- Check the registration record against what you entered, line by line.
- Collect new evidence of confusion: posts using your logo, messages from customers who mixed the two up, a bio presenting the account as your brand.
- File once more with that evidence, or stop if there is none.
When to stop
If the account uses the word for something unrelated and does not pose as you, a trademark route does not fit. Plan around it with a clean variation.
