What does “overcome” mean in this sentence?
I'm trying to understand the following bolded sentences. These have been copied from a legal document regarding the outcome of a patent application linked here.
DECISION
The sole outstanding objection to application 2013204646 has been
overcome. I accept the patent request and complete specification
relating to that application.
The objection of manner of manufacture in relation to application
2013204658 has been overcome. Pursuant to regulation 13.4(1)(g), the
application will not lapse for failure to gain acceptance until 3
months from the date of this decision. Aristocrat has the remainder
of that period in order to address the objections of lack of inventive
step.
What is "overcome" referring to here? Is the sentence saying that the "objection of manner of manufacturer" has succeeded or failed?
I'm confused since overcome is defined as the following by Google.
overcome (verb)
- succeed in dealing with (a problem or difficulty).
- defeat (an opponent)
meaning ambiguity
