Safeguarding a brand does not end at registration. Even after securing a trademark, threats may arise from conflicting applications or unlawfully registered marks that weaken the distinctiveness and commercial value of a brand. At P2 LEXPERITUS GLOBAL IP, we provide comprehensive support in trademark opposition and revocation proceedings to ensure that only valid and deserving trademarks remain in the market.

Pre-Registration Opposition: Blocking Risky Applications

When a third party files a trademark that is identical or confusingly similar to our client’s brand, timely opposition becomes a crucial defense. We intervene during the statutory opposition period by:

• Conducting detailed conflict and similarity analysis

• Gathering evidence of prior rights, reputation, and goodwill

• Drafting strong opposition statements with technical legal reasoning

• Representing clients before the trademark authorities in hearings

• Negotiating commercial resolutions wherever beneficial

With early opposition, we prevent infringement before it affects commercial activities, consumer trust, or brand consistency.

Post-Registration Revocation: Removing Wrongfully Registered Marks

Sometimes, trademarks get registered despite lacking distinctiveness or originality, or by misrepresenting ownership rights. We help clients challenge such registrations through revocation or cancellation actions. Our services include:

• Claiming invalidity due to non-originality or earlier rights

• Challenging fraudulent or bad-faith registrations

• Filing rectification petitions to narrow or remove conflicting entries

• Preparing extensive legal submissions supported by strong evidence

By eliminating undeserving trademarks from the register, we strengthen the competitive standing of our client’s brand.

End-to-End Representation for Effective Enforcement

Opposition and revocation proceedings require strategic communication and persistent follow-through. We support our clients with:

• Representation at hearings and legal arguments before authorities

• Settlement discussions for coexistence or licensing if commercially valuable

• Continuous case tracking and reporting for seamless progress

• Multi-jurisdictional handling through international partner networks

Our focus is on protecting brand exclusivity, preventing consumer confusion, and ensuring the trademark register reflects only legitimate rights.
