TRADEMARKS · DEFENSE AND DISPUTES
If your application was opposed, or you need to block the registration of a conflicting trademark, we analyze the risk, negotiate, and defend your position before the INPI (Argentina’s National Institute of Industrial Property) within the legal deadlines.
WHAT WE SOLVE
An opposition allows a third party to object to a published application when they believe it affects their rights. It does not mean the registration is lost: it opens a stage to assess prior rights, negotiate a solution, and, if necessary, sustain the defense before the INPI. We also represent owners who need to file an opposition to protect an earlier trademark.
OUR SERVICE
If your application was opposed, or you need to block the registration of a conflicting trademark, we analyze the risk, negotiate, and defend your position before the INPI within the legal deadlines.
We pursue settlements, limitations, or coexistence agreements only when they protect your business.
We prepare briefs, evidence, and arguments, and we track every deadline in the file.
PROCESS
We take over the file in whatever state it is in and define the most efficient route.
We confirm the notification date, the status of the file, and the deadlines available.
We compare the signs, products, services, ownership, use, and distinctive strength of both trademarks.
We decide whether it is best to negotiate, limit coverage, enter into an agreement, or proceed with the defense.
We draft the response or the ratification, submit evidence, and sustain the legal arguments.
We monitor the proceedings, respond to office actions, and keep you informed of every relevant decision.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Don’t let the notification go unanswered. Gather the file number and contact us as soon as possible so we can review the deadline, the opposing trademark, and the options for negotiation or defense.
No. An opposition is a claim made by a third party. It can be resolved through an agreement, a withdrawal, a limitation, or a decision by the INPI, depending on the prior rights and the defense presented.
Yes, if the published application could cause confusion or affect legitimate rights. It is best to analyze similarity, coverage, use, and strategy before filing.
No. An agreement can be useful, but it must set clear limits and must not weaken your trademark. We evaluate its commercial and legal impact first.
Yes. We review the history, the previous filings, and the deadlines to take over the representation and propose the next steps.
