Trademark Objection

Every owner of a registered trademark, or of a trademark entered for registration and with seniority, can lodge an objection with the Deutsche Patent- und Markenamt against the enrolment of a newer trademark. The trademark which is the object of an objection could be a national trademark, a European trademark or an internationally-registered trademark.

For any prospect of success with an objection it is crucial, on the one hand, to observe the three-month objection respite period, and also to pay the objection fee, give the reason for the objection and to delineate clearly the manner in which the trademark in question could cause confusion.

Is it the trademark itself that could cause confusion, or is it the claimed goods and services that are the source of the problem ? To be considered: the nearer the goods and service classes are, the more the trademarks themselves should differ, in order to avoid the danger of confusion.

Prehm and Klare Lawyers will check the legal situation on your behalf and assess the prospects for success of an objection action, formulate the reasons for the objection and lodge the objection with the relevant office in your name and authority.
