| IP OPPOSITIONS |
|
Patent, trade mark and design applications are filed with IP Australia. Prior to registration, each of these applications can be opposed by a third party. The opposition process is conducted by IP Australia and is a useful dispute process. It is an alternative to the more costly process of litigation. Of course in some cases, litigation will be the more appropriate course of action. However, like litigation, a substantial number of oppositions are resolved prior to reaching a hearing. It can provide a useful forum to open dialogue between the disputing parties and reach potential settlement. Our attorneys and lawyers have strong experience in patent, trade mark and design oppositions, representing both local and international clients and associates. Our team has strong technical knowledge and capabilities to reach a result in line with your business needs. Place an Online Enquiry to contact a Trade Mark Attorney or call us on 1300 768 730. |
