9. “Conquering Your Trademark Application Part 6: Getting Published for Opposition- Say What Now?”
Channel: Nik Sallie Trademark Attorney
Date: 2022-11-23

After your trademark application is filed, and you overcome all Office Actions, your application advances to the opposition period.  Think of this as sort of a checks and balances phase, where your attorney and the USPTO’s examining attorney have checked your trademark to make sure it’s not confusingly similar to someone else’s, but just in case the USPTO now publicly asks other trademark owners to weigh in on what they think.

I understand this may sound like the USPTO is “doing the most” but due diligence is essential when applying for a trademark registration.  However, this isn’t what worries me most about public opposition- I’ll reveal a separate critical issue in today’s video.
