Generally, once a third party files a notice of opposition, it will be examined by the IP office. Upon examination, the opposed party (you) will be informed about the newest developments and be allowed to respond within a specific period.
When engaging in the opposition proceedings, it is advisable to hire an experienced attorney who will be acting on your behalf. Your attorney will analyze the opposition and the opposing party. Based on the findings, they will choose the best course of action.
