Meaning / Definition of

Opposition Proceeding

Categories: Patent,

a proceeding before the trademark trial and appeal board in which the plaintiff seeks to prevent the issuance of a registration of a mark. An opposition is similar to a proceeding in a federal court, but is held before the trademark trial and appeal board, a USPTO administrative tribunal. Any person who believes that he or she will be damaged by the registration of a mark may file an opposition, but the opposition may only be filed in response to the publication of the mark in the Official Gazette.
