Oppositions are an important aspect of safeguarding your trademark protection.

USPTO oppositions are formal proceedings initiated by third parties to challenge the registration of a trademark. These oppositions can be filed during the publication period after a trademark application has been approved for publication by the USPTO.

Filing and responding to oppositions promptly and strategically is crucial for protecting your trademark rights and ensuring successful registration. Most oppositions tend to be settled by the parties. However, given the complex and often lengthy nature of opposition proceedings, it's highly advisable to engage the expertise of a seasoned trademark attorney to navigate the process effectively.
