What is the cost of defending an opposition to our proposed trademark ?
Opposition costs cannot be predicted with accuracy as the strength of the opposition position varies from matter to matter. We charge an hourly fee, as in trial matters, of US$250.00 per hour, which is believed to compare quite reasonably with our competition in the U.S. In the event an opposition is received, we request US$1000.00 as a retainer to evaluate the opposition and discuss the merits of proceeding. In the event your client chooses not to proceed with the opposition, any unearned funds are immediately refunded.
