Top 10 of 612 law firms for Oppositions, Intellectual Property Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Oppositions in intellectual property involve challenging or defending rights such as trade marks or design rights when an application is made or a grant is proposed. In England, a solicitor handles the process before the relevant IP tribunal or office, including drafting notices of opposition, filing forms, serving evidence, and responding to counterstatements. They gather evidence of earlier rights, liaise with the applicant’s representatives, and prepare for any hearing or negotiation that may follow. The outcome can shape who owns the right and on what terms.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

A regulated professional handles the opposition by applying for appropriate rights, presenting formal evidence, and addressing questions of earlier rights and likelihood of confusion. They operate with professional indemnity insurance, regulatory accountability, and rights of audience where applicable, ensuring the process adheres to rules and procedural deadlines in the IP Office proceedings or related tribunals.

Keith Melling

Tagged solicitor Keith Melling

Keith Melling and his team have provided invaluable guidance to Next Generation Travel on a wide range of matters, from company formation to management share incentive schemes, acquisitions, and complex issues like trademark infringements. Their advice is always clear, comprehensive and tailored to our business needs, allowing us to navigate legal challenges with confidence. We have worked with major Manchester based law firms in the past, but the level of service and expertise we receive from Napthens, under the leadership of Keith, rival those of much larger firms, and at a much more competitive price.

Daniel Fletcher

Tagged solicitor Daniel Fletcher

We discovered that a completely unrelated firm was attempting to profit by linking themselves to our company name and our reputation and immediately sought help. Half way through a Friday afternoon, we were not expecting to hear back - but we did. Our email was responded to and within a short time we had a solicitor ( Daniel Fletcher) on the phone, with a clear plan for how we could proceed. This was followed up on Monday and by Tuesday a forceful letter had been dispatched. By Friday we received assurances that the other company would withdraw every reference to the offending material and this was acted on promptly. All sorted inside a week. I cannot recommend Forbes too highly.
