Are you looking for specialized representation to resolve an issue with a trademark registration? Is there a trademark causing confusion with yours and resulting in damages? Perhaps you need advice regarding an administrative issue in your trademark registration process? Or, on the contrary, are you considering filing a claim to invalidate a trademark that is blocking you?
Defense during prosecution
During the trademark registration process, various issues may arise that can delay proceedings and, if not properly handled, may result in the refusal of the application. Among these, the most common is opposition from third parties who, based on earlier rights, claim that their exclusive rights are being infringed. Such opposition will lead to a provisional suspension that must be addressed both formally and substantively. Failure to respond, or responding incorrectly, may lead to an unfavorable decision with greater complexity and cost, potentially escalating to Administrative Courts.
Legal defense
Our expertise in proceedings before trademark offices enables us to provide comprehensive trademark defense, both in pre-litigation and litigation contexts, depending on the legal situation. In cases involving revocation, invalidity, or trademark opposition, Abril Abogados will always propose an out-of-court solution before initiating legal action, seeking to negotiate and avoid lengthy and costly judicial proceedings. However, as not all matters are resolved through agreement, Abril Abogados will provide access to top trademark lawyers to ensure effective resolution before courts and tribunals.
