Process of the Opposition Procedure:

• Deadline for Filing the Opposition: After the publication of a trademark application, you have 30 days to file an opposition. This deadline is crucial for protecting your rights.
• Review of Documents: We analyze the trademark application and relevant documents to assess the likelihood of success for your opposition.
• Assessment of Confusion Risk: We examine whether the applied-for mark could be confused with your existing mark and identify potential legal arguments.
• Drafting the Opposition Letter: We prepare a detailed opposition letter that includes both the legal basis and specific reasons for the opposition.
• Submission of the Opposition Letter: We submit the opposition letter in a timely manner to the relevant trademark office.
• Representation in the Procedure: Throughout the entire process, we represent you and communicate with the trademark office. We keep you informed about the progress of your opposition and advise you on further legal steps.
