A cooling-off period in trademark law refers to a period of time during an opposition proceeding when the parties are given an opportunity to resolve the dispute amicably and potentially avoid further legal proceedings.
In some jurisdictions, once a Notice of Opposition has been filed challenging the registration of a trademark, a cooling-off period of typically 2 to 3 months is initiated.

It can also help to reduce the time and cost associated with the opposition proceedings and avoid a lengthy and expensive legal battle.
