There is a long list of reasons why you’ve received a notification on provisional refusal of protection of your trademark, from non-distinction to similarity with other designations.

While thinking about overcoming the refusal it is important to keep in mind that to file a reply with the Russian PTO you need to assign a local trademark attorney and one has 6 months from the date of the refuse to file a response.
