Overview - trademark opposition reply Registration

What is it?

After a trademark application is approved by the Examiner and published in the Trademark Journal, any person can oppose the registration within 4 months of publication. The applicant (defendant) must file a Counter-Statement within 2 months of receiving the Notice of Opposition - failing which the application is deemed abandoned.

Opposition grounds

The opponent can oppose on grounds including: the mark is identical/similar to their prior registered or used mark · the mark is descriptive or generic · the applicant made a false claim of prior use · the mark conflicts with a well-known trademark · the mark is likely to deceive or cause confusion in the marketplace.

Opposition timeline

Opposition filed (Form TM-O) · Applicant receives Notice of Opposition · Counter-Statement filed within 2 months (Form TM-O) · Evidence in Support of Opposition · Evidence in Support of Application · Evidence in Reply · Hearing before Registrar · Registrar's decision.

Outcome

The Registrar either allows or refuses the opposition. If allowed, the application is refused. If refused, the trademark proceeds to registration. Either party can appeal to the Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB) / High Court.
