Comprehensive Support in the Trademark Opposition Procedure in Bahrain
Our law firm provides professional support in the trademark opposition process against registrations in Bahrain. If you believe your trademark rights are infringed by a newly registered trademark, you have the option to file an opposition to protect your interests.
Deadlines for Filing an Opposition
The opposition must be submitted within 30 days of the trademark's publication to the relevant Bahraini Patent Office (Ministry of Industry and Commerce). Adhering to this deadline is crucial to effectively assert your claims.
Possible Grounds for Opposition
The most common grounds for an opposition include:
Likelihood of Confusion: If the new mark is similar to your existing mark and could lead to consumer confusion.
Prior Use: If you have used your mark before the registration of the new mark, you can assert your prior use.
Lack of Distinctiveness: A mark that is not sufficiently distinctive may be considered unprotectable.
Duration of the Procedure
The entire process can take several months, depending on the complexity of the case and the processing time of the Patent Office. We will keep you continuously informed about the progress of your application.
