To safeguard our clients’ acquired industrial property rights from new trademark and patent applications filed by third parties, Jarry IP offers a monitoring service to identify potentially conflicting new applications. We notify clients of appropriate actions in each case. Through filing oppositions or defending against third-party oppositions, our legal department protects clients’ rights and interests, which may involve negotiating coexistence agreements or withdrawal of actions when applicable.
Defending industrial property rights may require nullity actions against registrations. Our legal team advises on and prosecutes nullity actions, or defends against them, with the aim of restoring rights to the rightful owner. Nullity claims are applicable when a registration has been improperly granted to a third party not entitled to those rights under the law.
