How the process works

1

Market and similar trademark monitoring

We watch new applications published in BOPI and signs used on the market that resemble your mark, so we can act before they become established.

2

Identification of infringements

We gather evidence of unauthorised use, such as photos, invoices and online captures, and assess how strong the case is.

3

Opposition or notification actions

We file an opposition at AGEPI within 3 months of publication or send a cease-and-desist letter, which settles many cases without court.

4

Representation in administrative and judicial procedures

If the infringement continues, we represent you before the AGEPI Board of Appeals and in court, including claims for damages and withdrawal of goods.

Frequently asked questions

When should an opposition be filed at AGEPI?

An opposition may be appropriate when a published application conflicts with your earlier rights. We assess the marks, legal grounds, and AGEPI deadline before recommending a filing.

What happens after a trademark infringement notice?

The notice sets out the rights relied on and the requested remedy. Depending on the response and evidence, the next step may be negotiation, an administrative procedure, or court representation.
