Legal Services in the Trademark Opposition Procedure in Russia
Our law firm provides comprehensive support in the trademark opposition process against registrations in Russia. If you believe your trademark rights are infringed by a registered trademark, you have the opportunity 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 Russian Patent Office (Rospatent). This deadline is crucial to secure 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 opposition procedure can take several months, depending on the complexity of the case and the processing time of Rospatent. We keep you informed throughout the entire process.
