Opposition against a trademark in Bolivia

Expert Legal Advice for Trademark Oppositions in Bolivia

Our law firm offers comprehensive legal support in the opposition process against the registration of trademarks in Bolivia. If you believe that your trademark rights are compromised by the registration of a new trademark, you have the option to file an opposition to protect and enforce your interests.

Deadlines for Filing an Opposition

In Bolivia, oppositions must be submitted within 30 days of the publication of the contested trademark to the Servicio Nacional de Propiedad Intelectual (SENAPI). Timely submission is crucial to ensure that your opposition is considered.

Common Grounds for Opposition

The most common grounds that may lead to an opposition include:

• Likelihood of Confusion: Similarities between the new mark and your existing mark that could lead to confusion among consumers.
• Prior Use: If you have used your mark before the registration of the new mark, you can assert your prior use.
• Insufficient Distinctiveness: Marks that are not sufficiently distinctive or are generic may be considered unprotectable.

Process and Duration of the Procedure

The entire opposition procedure can take several months, depending on the complexity of the case and the processing time of the SENAPI. We will keep you informed about all relevant developments and progress throughout the process.
