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.
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.

We noticed that a competitor was breaching our trademark and using our name in their advertising copy in an illegal way. We engaged with Ashtons to quickly ensure the removal of the advert.
