EXPERTISE

Early Action to Defend Your Rights

at Al Nawras Intellectual Property

A new trade mark application may raise concerns about your rights before the mark appears in the market. We review potentially conflicting applications, assess the legal grounds for opposition, and help prepare and file oppositions in accordance with the applicable procedures and deadlines. Each case is assessed on its own merits, taking into account your earlier rights, the marks concerned, the goods or services covered and other relevant legal factors. This assessment helps determine the appropriate approach to protecting your interests.
