Opposition against a trademark in Israel

Legal Support in the Trademark Opposition Procedure in Israel

Our law firm offers comprehensive legal support in the trademark opposition process against registrations in Israel. 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 3 months of the trademark's publication to the relevant Israeli Patent Office (Israeli Patent Office). It is important to adhere to this deadline to effectively assert your claims.

Grounds for Opposition

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 informed about all developments throughout the process.
