We handle both pre-grant and post-grant oppositions at the patent office and appeals therefrom. We have acted for opponents as well as applicants/respondents in such matters. Any opposition matter handled by us usually comprises of at least three professionals, who are collectively competent to handle the technical and legal aspect of an opposition proceeding. Oppositions are complicated, since they could result in the refusal or loss of patent rights. It is therefore important to engage an attorney who is well versed with drafting pleadings comprised of techno-legal arguments, handling procedural complexities and also arguing an opposition brief before the patent office.
Our opposition team has handled several marquee oppositions and has succeeded in many of them to the delight of our clients’. These oppositions have been from all different industries and the technical expertise of our team coupled with our in-house capabilities in patent searching and litigation has been a key factor in our victories. In addition to handling oppositions, we also provide watch services which help to identify potential patents/applications in a specific technical field that a client might desire to oppose.
