Disputes, Violations

Disputes and infringements before a patent attorney

Registration of a trademark and industrial design is subject to an opposition period, which will allow any interested party to become familiar with the trademark/design application and the lodging of an opposition to registration. For a trademark, this period lasts 3 months after the mark is published in the office’s databases. If a third party files an opposition to your trademark application, no decision will be issued until the opposition is resolved by the Polish Patent Office. It happens that the objection is resolved only in court.

Similarly, if you find a registered trademark that infringes your exclusive rights, you can file an opposition to the registration of such a trademark to prevent the registration of the trademark that infringes your rights.< /p>

Disputes and infringements are, contrary to appearances, a very common phenomenon, and our office is here to help you with any issues related to such disputes. We will guide you through the process of both filing an objection to registration and responding to the objection received.

Prior to the entire opposition process, you may also receive or send a warning letter as a chance to resolve the dispute amicably. Our patent attorneys can also help you in such matters!

Disputes and infringements may also include so-calledcancellations. This is a type of application submitted to the office fortermination of a given right, be it a patent, utility model protection right, industrial design registration right or trademark protection right. Such invalidation applies to the rights that have been already granted. It also happens that you can obtain such an annulment in your law. Contact our office and our patent attorneys will be able to help in both cases.
