Your complete hearing journey – from case review and brief preparation through attorney representation and all further opposition procedure steps to the Registry's final order.
Your case coordinator and authorised attorney review the complete opposition record – all filed documents, evidence, counter-statement (if applicable), Registry correspondence and any prior hearing orders. A comprehensive case assessment identifies the strongest arguments for your position at the hearing.
A detailed hearing brief is prepared – consolidating all evidence, legal arguments, case citations and responses to the opposing party's position. Written submissions prepared for filing with the Registry before or at the hearing, as required. All documentation reviewed by your authorised attorney for legal precision before the hearing date.
The hearing is attended by the IP attorneys you independently authorise upon your written consent. Oral arguments are presented in support of your position – whether you are the opposer presenting opposition grounds or the applicant defending your registration entitlement. All hearing logistics coordinated by our platform team.
Immediately after the hearing, the Registry's order or direction is monitored by our platform team. Any further submissions, evidence or compliance directed by the Registry is coordinated with your authorised attorney and managed as part of this package – at no additional fee.
After the hearing, further procedural steps may be directed by the Registry – additional evidence, adjournments, further written submissions or a reserved order. All such steps within the opposition proceeding are managed by our platform team in coordination with your authorised attorney until the Registry's final order is issued.
The Registry's final order is communicated to you the moment it is issued – with a clear explanation of the outcome and its implications. Strategic recommendations are provided on next steps: appeal options if the order goes against you, or the path to registration if the opposition is dismissed in the applicant's favour.
One managed process. From receipt of the hearing notice to the Registry's final order – coordinated by our platform team and the attorneys you authorise.
Purchase the package and complete payment. Your case coordinator contacts you immediately. Share the Registry's hearing notice and all opposition case documents. Your authorised attorney reviews the complete case record and prepares a comprehensive hearing brief – consolidating all evidence, legal arguments and written submissions. All documentation reviewed and confirmed before the hearing date.
Your authorised attorney attends the hearing upon your written consent and presents arguments in support of your position. All hearing logistics coordinated by our platform team. After the hearing, the Registry's order or direction is monitored immediately. Any further steps, submissions or compliance directed by the Registry are coordinated with your authorised attorney and managed as part of this package.
All further opposition procedure steps directed by the Registry are managed until the final order is issued. Your dedicated coordinator communicates the final order immediately and provides strategic recommendations on next steps – whether that is proceeding to appeal, accepting the order, or coordinating registration procedure steps if the opposition is dismissed. All within the scope of the opposition proceedings.
