Trademark Opposition
Proceedings
All trademark applications go for a 30 day period of opposition. This means that anyone (another person or
company) can oppose the registration of an application. The trademark opposition process is meant to give
third parties a chance to oppose an application that the US Government would have otherwise registered.
If you receive a notice of opposition you must respond. If you do not, a default judgment will be entered
against you and your application will be canceled by the US Government. A response can be in the form of
an answer or simple negotiation (depending on the case and circumstance).
We have successfully defended and negotiated settlements of trademark oppositions. Because each case is
unique we will gladly review your case and provide a quote for engaging in settlement discussions or
answering the opposition that has been filed against you.
As your trademark opposition attorney, Elite Counsel Law can represent you in any trademark opposition matter
before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
