Opposition & Litigation

OPPOSITION

 

‘Opposition’ is a procedure that starts before UIBM when a party requests the Office to reject an Italian trade mark application invoking a previous trademark right (Italian, Community, International designating Italy). When an opposition is filed, the proceedings will include an exchange of observations from both the opponent and the applicant (the ‘parties’). After considering these observations, and if an agreement has not been reached between the parties, the Opposition Division of UIBM will decide either to reject the contested application totally or in part. If the opposition is not well founded it will be rejected. If the Italian Trademark Application is not totally rejected, and provided there aren’t other oppositions pending, it will proceed to registration.

 

If you receive an opposition action or if you need to face an opposition filed against the registration of your trademark, please send  all relevant information about the trademark violation at info@trademarkitaly.it.
