Trademarks are often the subject of disputes, whether during registration or in the course of subsequent use on the market. Our firm provides comprehensive representation in all situations where a client’s brand is under threat or where action against a competitor is required.
We handle the preparation and filing of oppositions against trademark applications that may conflict with our clients’ trademarks, and we also represent clients in the defence against oppositions if their application is challenged by competitors. Our representation covers the entire course of opposition proceedings before the IPO CZ and EUIPO. If a dispute escalates beyond opposition, we also provide representation in court proceedings.
Our work also includes strategic advice, such as assessing the strength and relevance of an opposition and recommending the most effective approach, whether offensive or defensive. In many cases, negotiation is the best solution, and we therefore arrange narrowing of protection or draft and negotiate coexistence agreements for our clients. These agreements allow brands to coexist on the market without the risk of disputes and with clearly defined rules.
Our goal is always to find the most effective solution, whether it means enforcing our client’s rights, defending them, or achieving a strategic compromise that ensures the long-term stability of their brand.
