About the Webinar

With rising awareness surrounding the importance of protecting one’s proprietary rights over their trademark from being misappropriated and/or illegitimately interfered with, we at Khurana and Khurana have put together an one hour interactive session to provide clarity on the process of most effectively pursuing a trademark opposition proceeding, with a step by step guide towards the overall procedure.
The Session would primarily cover the following key elements:

• Who can file an opposition; Importance of due diligence to determine the successful enforcement of the opposition; Grounds of opposition; Provisional mandates.
• Defensive grounds available to an Applicant when served with a notice of opposition to effectively counter the same such as Honesty in adoption; Scope of bargaining dissimilarity; no overlapping of the rival goods or services ; Prior use; Peaceful co-existence; Principle of estoppel; Relevant case laws.
• Brief discussion on the evidence stage and its optimal use for substantiating the grounds put forth by the Opponent as well as the Applicant.
