Design Oppositions
and Appeals

Initial Assessment and Strategy Development

Thorough Analysis and Customized Strategies
The first step in managing a design opposition or appeal is a thorough assessment of the situation. We analyze the details of the opposition or appeal, including the grounds for the challenge and relevant legal precedents. Based on this analysis, we develop a customized strategy tailored to the specifics of your case. This strategic approach ensures that we address all aspects of the opposition or appeal comprehensively.

​

Validity/ Opposition Search and Comprehensive Reports
Ensuring Strong Foundations for Your Case
A critical component of design oppositions and appeals is conducting a thorough validity or opposition search. This search assesses the strength of the design in question and identifies any prior art or relevant documents that could impact the case. Our comprehensive reports provide detailed insights and analysis, helping you understand the strengths and weaknesses of your position. These reports are invaluable for making informed decisions and formulating effective strategies

Filing Oppositions and Responses

Protecting Your Design Rights
If you need to file an opposition against a third-party design application, we prepare and submit a detailed notice of opposition. Our team of experienced attorneys drafts precise and compelling arguments to support your case. Similarly, if you receive an opposition against your design application, we craft robust responses to defend your rights. Our expertise in design law ensures that your filings are persuasive and legally sound.

Managing Oppositions & Appeals

Expert Handling of Appeal Procedures
In cases where a design application is refused or an opposition decision is unfavorable, we manage the appeal process on your behalf. We meticulously prepare the necessary documents and arguments to present a strong case before the relevant design authorities or courts. Our team’s extensive experience in handling appeals ensures that we effectively advocate for your design rights.

Evidence Collection and Submission
Comprehensive and Persuasive Evidence
The success of oppositions and appeals often hinges on the quality of evidence presented. We assist in gathering and submitting comprehensive evidence to support your case. This includes technical documentation, expert testimonies, and any instances of prior art. Our thorough approach ensures that your evidence is compelling and clearly demonstrates the merits of your case.

Monitoring and Managing Deadlines
Vigilant Deadline Management
Design opposition and appeal processes involve strict deadlines that must be met to avoid adverse consequences. We diligently monitor all relevant deadlines and ensure timely submission of documents and responses. Our proactive approach minimizes the risk of missed deadlines and procedural issues, keeping your case on track.
