Trademark Opposition: Defend Your Brand Legally
Has a third party filed an opposition against your trademark in the Journal? We represent your business in legal proceedings to ensure your brand registration stays on track.
Strict 2-Month Filing Deadline
Once an opposition is filed against your mark, you are served with a notice. You have strictly 2 months to file your “Counter Statement.” Failing to file this in time results in your trademark being deemed abandoned by the Registrar.
The Opposition Lifecycle
A trademark opposition is a quasi-judicial proceeding. Here is how EasyBiz360 manages your defense:
Counter Statement (The Reply)
We draft a detailed legal response to the opponent’s allegations, challenging their claims and proving that your mark is distinct and non-infringing.
Evidence & Hearings
We manage the submission of evidence (affidavits) and represent you in high-level oral hearings before the Registrar of Trademarks.
Do You Need to Oppose Someone Else?
If you see a competitor trying to register a brand name that is confusingly similar to yours, you have the legal right to file an Opposition within 4 months of it appearing in the Trademark Journal.
EasyBiz360 helps you:
- Monitor the Trademark Journal for conflicting marks.
- Draft a formal Notice of Opposition.
- Protect your brand’s market exclusivity.
