In the U.S., all trademark applications go through a 30-day opposition period, during which anyone can challenge the registration. This process allows third parties to object to trademarks that the government might otherwise approve. If you receive a Notice of Opposition, you must respond promptly, or your application will be canceled by default judgment. Depending on the case, you can resolve the opposition by filing a formal response or negotiating a settlement. We represent clients before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) in all trademark opposition matters.
