Oppositions


FRKelly Attorneys are adept in the handling of domestic and international trademark and patent oppositions.

Protecting and preserving our clients IP rights.

Opposition proceedings for both Trade Marks and Patents are complex legal matters that require the attention of sharp, knowledgeable attorneys. When a client is faced with issues concerning registration of its own IP or of the registration of another party, we guide the client through the process of evaluating available options in an effort to resolve the matter in a way that is most beneficial to the client. Our attorneys in FRKelly have the know-how and skills to meet these challenges. The team is also among the most experienced in EUIPO and EPO oppositions and appeals, and our success rates are significantly above the European average in oppositions.

Patents

A patent gives you the right to decide how your inventions can be used by others. Securing a strong patent requires an understanding of the relevant industry in order to maximise the available protection. And that’s where we come in. The patent attorneys at FRKelly are scientists and engineers who can understand your invention and secure the best possible protection. With expertise across all technical areas, we engage with you to understand the technology, and provide strategic advice about when and where to file so that your business objectives mesh with the patent procedure. For foreign associates we provide knowledgeable, efficient and cost-effective representation before the European Patent Office, and directly before the UK and Irish Offices.

Trade Marks

A Trade Mark is the recognisable symbol you use to distinguish your products and services from those of your competitors. It is central to establishing brand awareness and creating loyalty and, properly used, protected and promoted, it can be one of your most valuable assets. The FRKelly Trade Mark team is made up of a number of European, Irish and UK trade mark attorneys with backgrounds in law and business.  Working with clients across a diverse range of organisations and industries we have forged an excellent reputation both at home and globally. We use a team-based approach so clients benefit from the very best strategic advice from experts who appreciate the legal environment in addition to the commercial implications. Our comprehensive service extends through the full lifecycle of a brand, from searching and filing through to opposition and appeal, enforcement, and portfolio management.
