Our law firm offers comprehensive legal assistance in the opposition process against trademark registrations in Hungary. If you believe your trademark rights are infringed by a new trademark, you have the option to file an opposition to protect your rights and interests.
Deadlines for Filing Oppositions
The opposition must be submitted within 3 months of the trademark's publication to the relevant Hungarian Patent Office (Szellemi Tulajdon Nemzeti Hivatala). Timely submission is crucial to safeguard your claims.
Grounds for Opposition in Detail
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 updated on the progress of your application.
