How do I report brand infringement in a trademark register?

Reporting brand infringement in a trademark register depends on the legal procedures in the country where the trademark is registered. If you find that another party has filed a trademark that closely resembles yours, the first step is to gather evidence demonstrating your prior use and rights to the brand. This can include business records, trademark registrations, and evidence of brand recognition.

Once you have sufficient documentation, you can file an opposition with the relevant trademark office. The opposition process typically involves submitting a formal complaint outlining why the new trademark should not be granted. If the trademark has already been registered, you may need to pursue legal action, such as requesting cancellation or invalidation of the mark. Because these procedures can be complex, using a professional trademark monitoring and enforcement service can help ensure the process is handled efficiently.
