Opposition against a trademark in Czech Republic

Trademark Opposition Procedure in the Czech Republic: Expert Support

Our law firm offers tailored assistance in the trademark opposition process against registrations in the Czech Republic. If you believe your trademark rights are compromised by a new trademark, you have the option to actively file an opposition.

Deadlines for Filing Oppositions

The opposition must be submitted within 3 months of the trademark's publication to the relevant Czech Patent Office (Úřad průmyslového vlastnictví). Timely submission is crucial to protect your claims.

Typical Grounds for Opposition

Common grounds for opposition include:

• Likelihood of Confusion: Similarities between your mark and the new mark could lead to confusion.
• Prior Use: If you have used the mark before the new registration, you can assert your prior use.
• Lack of Distinctiveness: Marks that are not clearly identifiable may be considered unprotectable.

Procedure Duration

The entire process can take several months, depending on the complexity of the case and the processing time of the Patent Office. We continuously update you on the progress of your application.
