What is Trademark Opposition and reply to TM Opposition?

All you need to know

When you wish to register a trademark, the whole trademark registration passes through several stages. Trademark opposition is one of them. Trademark Opposition in India comes at a stage after the registrar has approved the trademark application on the distinctiveness factor and publishes the trademark in the journal for the third-party opposition.

Trademark Opposition:

  • Any person wanting to oppose a trademark can do so by filing a notice of opposition on the prescribed form along with the prescribed fee within four months of advertisement of the mark.
  • It is first sent to the Registry for review and if all the formalities are met, the Registry will then serve the notice on the other party.

Counter Statement or Reply to Trademark Opposition:

  • A counter-statement or reply to the opposition must be filed within two months.
  • There is no extension to file a counter-statement which means that if the Trademark Applicant fails to file a counter-statement within two months of receiving the notice, the mark shall be deemed abandoned.
  • The counter- statement is first sent to the Registry for review and if all the formalities are met, the Registry will then serve the counter-statement on the Opponent.

Who can Oppose the Trademark?
