jite intellectual property: what is the cooling-off period for EU trademark objections?

in the European union, the trademark office has set a cooling-off period, which will be set by the trademark office once an objection is received and assumed to be admissible.

the purpose of the cooling-off period is to allow the parties to negotiate a settlement agreement.

the initial cooling-off period is 2 months, but up to 24 months can be required.

after the cooling-off period, if both parties fail to reach an agreement, the litigation part of the lawsuit will begin. Most of the opposition parties have reached a settlement, because it is cheaper than a full-scale opposition.
