So, your application has been accepted and published for opposition purposes ... what now ?

Because of the way the system works many oppositions are filed but the majority are settled amicably.  If anyone objects to your trade mark application by way of opposition we will review the merits of their case and advise you on your likelihood of success and on the best strategy to adopt.   We will take all necessary action to defend your trade mark application and where appropriate reach a negotiated settlement with the other side. 

 

When someone else has filed a trade mark application that strays on to your patch we can file an opposition and advise on strategies to help you achieve a satisfactory solution.  Where it is necessary HallMark IP will fight all the way to protect your rights.

 

If you wish to remove a trade mark from the register, or if your registrations are attacked, we can advise and act on your behalf in Revocation and Invalidity proceedings.
