Opposition against a trademark in Ukraine

Details About our Consulting Services and the Opposition Procedure in Ukraine

Our law firm provides you with extensive expertise in the procedure for challenging trademark registrations in Ukraine. If you believe your trademark rights are violated by a new registered trademark, you have the option to file an opposition to effectively protect your rights and interests.

Deadlines for Filing Oppositions

The opposition must be submitted within 3 months of the trademark's publication to the relevant Ukrainian Patent Office (Ukrainian Institute of Intellectual Property). It is crucial to meet this deadline to safeguard your claims.

Typical 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.

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 will keep you informed about all developments throughout the process.
