Someone Challenged Your Mark – File Your Counter-Statement Before Your Application Is Treated as Abandoned.
A Notice of Opposition does not end your registration journey. A strong, attorney-prepared counter-statement defends your right to register and keeps your application alive. Counter-statement drafted by your authorised attorney · Evidence bundle prepared and filed · Registry follow-up and hearing coordination · Dedicated coordinator until final decision · Govt. fee included.
2-Month Counter-Statement Deadline – Non-Extendable. Once you receive a Notice of Opposition, you have exactly 2 months to file a counter-statement with the Trademark Registry. If no counter-statement is filed within this period, your application is treated as abandoned – and your registration journey ends permanently at this stage.
The complete counter-opposition solution – legal analysis of the opponent's grounds, counter-statement drafting, evidence bundle, Registry filing, hearing coordination (upon your written authorisation), and dedicated coordinator until the final Registry decision.
Connect with our process management team via WhatsApp at +91 98192 98195 immediately – we will explain the opposition grounds and confirm the correct next steps before you purchase, at no charge.
Every step of the counter-opposition proceeding is covered in one payment of ₹14,900. No stage-wise billing at any point in the proceedings.

Your complete counter-opposition journey, step by step. One payment covers every step – from analysing the opponent's grounds to the final Registry decision – coordinated by our platform team and the attorneys you authorise.
Your authorised attorney analyses the Notice of Opposition in detail – identifying the specific grounds raised by the opponent, the legal arguments used, the evidence cited, and the weaknesses in the opposition case. A defence strategy is developed to present the strongest possible counter-statement.
A comprehensive counter-statement is drafted by your authorised attorney – denying the opponent's grounds, asserting your trademark's distinctiveness, prior use, and registration entitlement. Evidence of your use, market presence, business history and distinctiveness compiled into a formal evidence bundle for filing.
Complete counter-statement with evidence bundle filed at the Trademark Registry by your authorised attorney within the 2-month window. Government fee of ₹2,700 paid as part of your all-inclusive price. Filing acknowledgement received and shared with you immediately. Counter-opposition proceedings formally commenced.
Both parties are given opportunity to file evidence in support of their positions. Your authorised attorney manages your evidence filing – affidavits, supporting documents, use evidence, and any additional legal submissions required by the Registry. All deadlines and submissions coordinated by our platform team.
The Trademark Registry schedules a hearing at which both parties present arguments. Your authorised attorney attends upon your written consent and presents your defence – oral arguments, written submissions, and response to any Registry queries. All hearing coordination and preparation managed by our platform team at no additional fee.
The Trademark Registry issues its final decision – either dismissing the opposition (your application proceeds to registration) or sustaining it (your application is refused at this stage). Your dedicated coordinator communicates the outcome immediately and provides strategic recommendations on next steps, including any appeal options available.
One coordinator manages your counter-opposition from filing to final decision – tracking the case, coordinating with your authorised attorney, and providing regular status updates throughout. No rotating support agents. No re-explaining your case at every stage.
At every stage of the proceedings, your attorney and coordinator assess the strategic options – including settlement negotiations with the opponent. If settlement is the more effective path, you will be advised accordingly, along with the implications for your trademark application.
One managed process. From receiving the Notice of Opposition to the Registry's final decision – coordinated by our platform team and the attorneys you authorise. Act within the 2-month counter-statement window.
Purchase the package and complete payment. Our process management team contacts you immediately. Share the Notice of Opposition and your trademark details. Your authorised attorney analyses the opponent's grounds and drafts a comprehensive counter-statement – incorporating your prior use, registration entitlement and all applicable legal arguments. Evidence bundle compiled and reviewed for quality before filing.
Your authorised attorney files the counter-statement with the Trademark Registry along with the evidence bundle. Government fee of ₹2,700 paid as part of your all-inclusive price – no separate payment from you. Filing acknowledgement received and shared immediately. Platform team coordinates the evidence stage – tracking all deadlines, managing submissions, and briefing your authorised attorney at every stage of the proceedings.
Registry schedules hearing dates at which your authorised attorney presents oral arguments in your defence upon your written consent. All hearing coordination and attorney preparation managed by our platform team at no extra charge. Registry issues its final decision. If the opposition is dismissed, your application proceeds to registration. Your dedicated coordinator communicates the outcome and advises on next steps immediately.
Filing a counter-statement is the only way to keep your trademark application alive when opposed. The alternative – abandonment – means starting over with a fresh application, losing your original filing date and all prior rights associated with it.
When your trademark application is opposed, the strength of your counter-statement and the speed of filing determine whether your registration survives. One platform. One fixed fee. Complete defence managed.
The ₹2,700 government fee for filing a counter-statement is included in your all-inclusive ₹14,900 price. No separate fee to arrange. No surprises at any stage of the proceedings.
Your counter-statement is drafted by IP attorneys you independently authorise – incorporating legal analysis of the opponent's grounds, your prior use evidence and the strongest available legal arguments for your mark's registration.
With the 2-month window being non-extendable, our platform team contacts you and begins opposition analysis the same day you purchase – ensuring maximum time for thorough counter-statement preparation.
If the Registry schedules opposition hearings, all coordination and preparation for your authorised attorney's attendance is managed by our team at no additional fee within this package.
One payment of ₹14,900 covers every step – analysis, drafting, evidence bundle, filing, evidence stage, hearing coordination and dedicated coordinator until the final Registry decision. No surprise charges at any stage.
One coordinator manages your counter-opposition from filing to final decision – tracking the case, coordinating with your authorised attorney and providing regular updates. No re-explaining your situation at each stage.
A successful counter-opposition defence preserves your original trademark filing date and all associated prior rights – which would be permanently lost if the application were abandoned by default.
At every stage, your attorney and coordinator assess whether settlement with the opponent is strategically preferable to continued proceedings – providing you the full picture to make an informed decision.
