Patent Opposition

PRE-GRANT AND POST-GRANT OPPOSITION AT INDIAN PATENT OFFICE (IPO)

Patent opposition provides the public and interested parties, an opportunity to object to the grant of a patent. Because of the protections afforded by a patent, a patent granted in its field of operation may become a stumbling block for a business, and, sometimes, even to society at large. Successfully opposing a patent requires a deep understanding of the law and procedures. It also demands comprehensive research, a strategic approach, and skillful process management. The same skills are required to defend an opposition notice against your own patent application.

Our highly experienced team of patent attorneys draft, file and represent clients at the Indian patent office in pre- and post-grant oppositions. We work closely with clients to devise patent opposition strategies that are in line with business goals. During the process, we focus like a laser on the removal of business hindrances and devise process management tools in line with that objective. Our team specializes in converting patent oppositions into business opportunities for our clients.
