How will I get notified about an opposition?

Senior Trademark Attorney

The IP office notifies the applicant (or their legal representative) when a notice of opposition is filed. The notification is sent to the correspondence address on record for the application and sets out the grounds of the opposition and the deadlines for responding.

If a legal representative is on record, the notification goes to them first. They should forward it promptly and advise on the appropriate response. If you are not using a representative, ensure the contact details on your application are current so notifications reach you within the response window.
