Comprehensive Legal Support in the Trademark Opposition Procedure in Oman
Our law firm offers extensive legal support in the trademark opposition process against registrations in Oman. If you believe your trademark rights are infringed by the registration of a new trademark, you have the option to file an opposition to effectively protect your interests.
Deadlines for Filing Oppositions in Oman
The opposition must be submitted within 30 days of the trademark's publication to the relevant Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion in Oman. Adhering to this deadline is crucial to effectively assert your claims.
Important Grounds for Opposition
The most common grounds for an opposition include:
- Likelihood of Confusion: Similarities between the new mark and your existing mark may confuse 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 may be considered unprotectable.
Duration and Process of the Procedure
The entire opposition process can take several months, depending on the complexity of the case and the processing time of the Ministry. We will keep you regularly informed about all important developments throughout the process.
