What are the procedures for trademark opposition defense?

1. File an objection: Fill in the "Trademark Objection Form" and state the name of the trademark being opposed, the product category, the preliminary approval number, the preliminary approval announcement period number, and the reason for the objection. If it is believed that the opposed trademark is the same as or similar to the opponent's registered trademark used on the same or similar goods, the product category, trade name, registration number, etc. of the opponent's registered trademark should also be filled in. 2. Notification of defense: After receiving the objection letter and relevant evidence, the Trademark Office will send a copy of the objection letter to the person being opposed, who shall make a written reply within thirty days from the date of receipt of the objection letter. If the respondent fails to respond within the time limit, it will be deemed to have waived the objection, which will not affect the progress of the objection procedure. 3. Correction (not a required process): After receiving the opposition application, if the Trademark Office finds that there are problems in the opposition application that need to be corrected, it will send a correction notice to the opponent or trademark agency to make corrections within a time limit.

4. Make a ruling: The Trademark Office shall listen to the facts and reasons stated by the opponent and the opposed party, and make a ruling after investigation and verification.
