Trademark Opposition
Resolute Defence through Expert Trademark Opposition Services
Trademark opposition is a legal procedure used to challenge the registration of a trademark by a third party. It allows any person who believes that a trademark application should not proceed to oppose the registration of the mark. The opposition process can be initiated by filing an opposition with the relevant trademark office within a specified period of time after the publication of the trademark application. The grounds for opposition can vary depending on the country.

- Evidence of Existing Trademark Rights: Documents or evidence proving the opponent’s prior rights to the conflicting trademark.
