What are the steps involved in a trademark opposition?

  • What are the steps involved in a trademark opposition?

    Once a Notice of Opposition is filed or received and received by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), the applicant has 40 days to file a response. If no response is filed within that period, the TTAB may issue a default judgment and cancel the trademark application. If a response is filed, the process becomes similar to litigation, involving a settlement conference, discovery, and a trial.
