Changes to the TM Opposition Resolution Process Introduced


The Official Gazette published Resolution P-295/2024, which introduces changes to the trademark opposition resolution process. These will significantly reduce the backlog of pending cases.

The new requisite establishes a fee under the name "Administrative Resolution of Active Oppositions" which must be paid by applicants who wish to move forward with trademark registrations that have existing oppositions.

Applicants for new trademarks who wish to proceed with their applications and resolve any outstanding oppositions are required to pay the new fee—approximately 50% of the cost of a new trademark—within 15 business days after the oppositions are notified. Failure to pay within this period will result in the automatic denial of the application.

The resolution applies to all new opposition cases and has retroactive effect on such cases where the applicant has not yet responded to third-party oppositions, and the application remains unresolved.
