Trademark Opposition means an objection raised by a third party on the application for registration of a trademark. The purpose of opposing a trademark registration is to protect the right of the existing registered holder from registering a similar or deceptively similar trademark.
Any interested third party that is an individual or a company or any person can initiate the process of trademark opposition, within a period of 4 months from the date for the advertisement of an application made in the Trademark Journal.
Trademark opposition plays a very eminent role as it is a chance for the registered trademark owners to stop any other mark that can hinder/ dilute their brand or cause any possible confusion in the mars.
As the brand is created through the public popularity and demand, it is very important to consult the public for approval about the registrability of the applied trademark.
The Trademark application that is proposed to be opposed by the interested party (Opponent) must have accepted by the Registrar and published in the Trademark Journal before filing the Notice of Opposition
A Notice of Opposition (Form TM-O) must be submitted to the Registrar of Trademark within 4 months of publication of advertisement in the Trademark Journal.
