In Grenada, the opposition must be filed within 2 months after the publication of the contested trademark in the trademark register of the Grenada Intellectual Property Office (GIPO). Late submissions will not be considered, so it is essential to act quickly to protect your rights.

Common Grounds for Filing a Trademark Opposition

There are several reasons why you may file an opposition against the registration of a trademark. The most common include:

• Likelihood of Confusion: If the new trademark is too similar to your existing trademark and could cause confusion among consumers.
• Prior Use: If you have already used your trademark before the registration of the new trademark, you can assert your prior use.
• Lack of Distinctiveness: A trademark that is too generic or not clearly distinguishable may be deemed unprotectable.
