Trademark & IP · Opposition & hearing

Fight or defend a trademark opposition.

When a mark is opposed after publication, the case is won on the counter-statement, the evidence and the hearing. We run both sides — opposing a conflicting mark, or defending yours — end to end.

Why it matters

Why opposition is worth doing well.

01

Your brand is at stake

Lose a defence and your mark is refused; win an opposition and you keep a competitor’s confusing mark off the register.

02

Evidence wins it

Opposition turns on proof of use and reputation. We build the affidavits and documents that actually carry weight.

03

Every step has a deadline

Notice, counter-statement and evidence each have strict timelines. Miss one and the case can be decided against you.

04

We argue it

The same team that prepared the file appears at the hearing — so the argument matches the evidence exactly.

How it works

Run in three moves.

STEP 01

Assess the case

Whether you’re opposing or defending, we review the marks and the grounds and give you a straight read on your chances.

STEP 02

File & build evidence

Notice of opposition or counter-statement filed, followed by the evidence affidavits within each deadline.

STEP 03

Argue the hearing

We make the written and oral submissions and represent you before the registry to the decision.

Answers

Opposition, answered.

Someone opposed my trademark — what now?+
You must file a counter-statement within the deadline, or the application is deemed abandoned. After that both sides file evidence and the matter goes to a hearing. We handle every stage and defend your mark through to the decision.
Can I oppose someone else’s mark?+
Yes. Once a mark is advertised in the Trade Marks Journal, anyone can file a notice of opposition within the window if it conflicts with theirs. If a competitor’s mark threatens yours, we can oppose it for you.
How long does an opposition take?+
Opposition proceedings run over many months, sometimes longer, because of the notice, counter-statement, evidence rounds and hearing. We keep every deadline and keep you updated at each stage.
What decides the outcome?+
Largely the evidence — proof of prior use, reputation and the likelihood of confusion between the marks. A strong, well-documented evidence file is what wins, which is where we focus the work.
