Opposition against a trademark in Sweden

Support in the Trademark Opposition Procedure in Sweden

Our law firm provides comprehensive support in the trademark opposition process against registrations in Sweden. If you believe your trademark rights are affected by a new trademark, you have the option to file an opposition.

Deadlines for Filing an Opposition

Oppositions must be submitted within 3 months of the trademark's publication to the relevant Swedish Patent Office (Patent- och registreringsverket, PRV). Timely action is crucial to protect your claims.

Thorough Analysis of Possible Grounds for Opposition

Common grounds for opposition include:

• Likelihood of Confusion: Similarity between the new and your existing mark could lead to consumer confusion.
• Prior Use: If you have used the mark before the new registration, you can assert your prior use.
• Lack of Distinctiveness: A mark that is not clearly distinguishable may be considered unprotectable.

Duration of the Procedure

The entire process can take several months, depending on the complexity of the case and the processing time of the Patent Office. We will keep you regularly informed about the progress throughout the entire process.
