Every trademark application that gets approved by the USPTO for registration must go through a 30day period of public comment for potential opposition. During this 30day period, anybody who feels they could be damaged by the registration of the trademark can file a formal notice of opposition.

This begins a lengthy and expensive proceeding in an administrative court that determines whether the trademark can register or not.

If you have received a notice of opposition or are considering filing a notice of opposition, it’s very important to understand what these proceedings are and how they work.
