Oppositions and appeals

We strongly recommend individuals and companies to set up a trade mark watch service to identify third parties’ trade mark applications in countries of interest which may cause a risk of confusion or association in the market or may take an unfair advantage of the reputation or distinctive character of a brand.

Our specialist team has extensive experience in dealing with oppositions and appeals directly at the UK Intellectual Property Office and OHIM as well as directing the legal strategy in opposition and appeal procedures dealt by our approved associate network in the rest of the countries in the world.

We are experienced in settling conflicts through negotiation and are specialists in drafting and negotiating coexistence agreements and licenses, aligned with our clients’ interests and rights saving both time and money.
