1. What are the key points of the objection defense against trademark squatting? Several key points that should be grasped during the defense are: 1. Seize the key points and discuss the reasonable and beneficial aspects in a comprehensive and detailed manner. When arguing that the trademarks are not similar, describe the sound, shape, and meaning of the trademarks; to argue that the goods are not similar, explain the differences from the goods themselves, especially whether it affects consumers' purchase and use. 2. Outstanding advantages If the trademark of the opposed party has a certain degree of originality or has prior rights, it should be stated as important content. These are the powerful reasons and arguments for the opposed party. However, the opponent should note that when claiming prior rights in trademark application and registration, it is critical whether the rights holder has claimed to protect his or her rights in my country, because my country’s Trademark Law stipulates the principle of prior application and registration. , trademarks that have been applied for or registered in our country are more convincing than trademarks registered in other countries or regions. 3. Strong pertinence. The content of the respondent's defense cannot be disconnected from the content of the trademark objection or completely unrelated to the content of the objection. This is what we often say that the answer is not what the question was asked. The defense must refute the objections of the opponent point by point. His reply will not be able to refute the objections of the opponent. Reasonableness must also be well-founded. The person being opposed must show the authenticity of the content of the defense and must also provide evidence to prove that its defense is well-founded and not fabricated out of thin air. 4. Defend on time According to the provisions of the Trademark Law, the time limit for defense is thirty days from the date the opponent receives the notice of defense. Overdue defense will be treated as undefended, and the supplement of defense materials cannot be indefinite. According to the current processing speed of the Trademark Office, it will take three to four months from the time the defense notice is sent to the time the defense is received and the examiner makes a ruling, including the time required for mailing. Therefore, if supplementary materials are still needed for the defense, they must be submitted in time. When describing trademark objections and defenses, attention should also be paid to compact content, clear logical relationships, highlighted points, and conciseness. We cannot assume that the longer the article, the more reasonable it will be, and the thicker the material, the more persuasive it will be. As long as you make your point of view clear, it can play its due role. 2. What does trademark opposition defense mean? Trademark opposition defense refers to the legal act in which the opponent in a trademark opposition case defends the objection reasons in writing within the statutory period. When a trademark applied for registration passes preliminary examination and enters the three-month opposition period after the preliminary announcement, once it is opposed by others, the trademark opposition procedure will be initiated. The trademark applied for registration becomes an opposed trademark. Even if a registration announcement has been published, the registration announcement is invalid (Note: In order to publish the "Trademark Announcement" on time, the "Trademark Registration Announcement" is often published a few days before the expiration of the opposition period. The printed version will be arranged every day. When someone else’s trademark objection is filed a few days before or even the last day of the opposition deadline, plus the time required for mailing, there will be a situation where both the objection and the "registration announcement" will be filed. ). Whether the applicant can obtain the exclusive right to use the trademark depends on the Trademark Office’s ruling on opposition to the trademark. After accepting the trademark opposition application, the Trademark Office will promptly send the opponent's "Trademark Opposition Application" and copies of the objection reasons and evidence materials to the opponent, and the opponent will be limited to the date when the opponent receives copies of the trademark opposition letter, etc. If the respondent fails to make a written reply within the specified period, it will be deemed to have waived the right to reply, and the objection procedure will continue as usual. Article 33 of the Trademark Law: If an objection is raised against a trademark that has been initially approved and announced, the Trademark Office shall listen to the facts and reasons stated by the opponent and the person being opposed, and make a ruling after investigation and verification. If the party concerned is dissatisfied, he may apply to the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board for review within fifteen days from the date of receipt of the notice. The Trademark Review and Adjudication Board will make a ruling and notify the opponent and the opposed party in writing. It should be said that the objection to trademark squatting is a legal right possessed by the parties concerned. Although the applicant raises an objection during the trademark announcement period, it does not mean that the trademark of the party concerned must be squatted. Therefore, the objected People must respond to the relevant opinions raised by the opponents. Since the defense needs to be based on the actual case of trademark registration, the reference sample is of no value.
