TRADEMARK OPPOSITION

These are following steps which come under this procedure like;

→ Notice of Opposition

→ Counter-Statement

→ Evidence in Support of Opposition

→ Evidence in Support of Application

→ Evidence in Reply

→ Hearing

→ Registration or Rejection

A notice is filed against the person who is using the Registered Trademark by the real owner of the Trademark. This notice of opposition is similar to the complaint in federal or state court which contains a caption of the parties involved followed by numbered paragraphs which state the factual background, the grounds for opposition, and the request for relief. The third-party has to file the Trademark opposition within 3 months from the date of the publication of the Trademark. The opposition notice should be filed at the Trademark registry where the application for the conflicting mark has been filed. For instance, if the application is filed at the Mumbai office of the Trade Mark Registry, then the proceedings of the opposition must initiate in Mumbai only.

Thus, Trademark Opposition is an effective remedy available for the Registered proprietor of the Trademark who initiates an appropriate proceeding at the right time.
