==== Objections and Appeals ====
In the 104 days following String Confirmation Day, parties with standing may file objections against specific applications, which will be evaluated by a panel of expert(s). Objections may be based on four grounds: string confusion, legal rights, limited public interest, and community.
The party that does not prevail in an objection has a limited opportunity to appeal the decision. The non-prevailing party must notify the Dispute Resolution Service Provider (DRSP) of its intent to appeal within 15 days following the issuance of the objection determination. Subsequently, the non-prevailing party has an additional 15 days from the notice date to file the appeal and pay the required fees.<ref name=agb-one></ref>
