Comprehensive Legal Advice and Support in the Trademark Opposition Procedure in Kuwait
Our law firm provides extensive legal support in the trademark opposition process against registrations in Kuwait. If you believe your trademark rights are infringed by the registration of a new 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 Kuwaiti Patent Office (Kuwait Ministry of Commerce and Industry). Adhering to this deadline is crucial to effectively assert your claims.
Common 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.
- Insufficient Distinctiveness: A mark that is not sufficiently distinctive may be considered unprotectable.
Procedure and Duration
The entire procedure 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.
