What are possible challenges by third parties to the registration of a mark?
Assuming that we are able to convince the USPTO that a mark is entitled to registration, the USPTO would then publish the mark for opposition. This process allows third parties to argue that the mark is not entitled to registration because the mark would present a likelihood of confusion with its own mark. A search will reveal parties who may attempt to oppose the registration of a mark because of similarities. If a third party were to oppose the registration of your mark, we would have the opportunity to respond to their opposition and argue that registration should be permitted.
