Trademark Opposition Services in India – With Mequintrax

Introduction to Trademark Opposition

When a trademark application is published in the Trademark Journal, any third party who believes the mark conflicts with their own registered or pending mark can file a Trademark Opposition. Similarly, if your application is opposed, you must file a strong counterstatement to defend your rights.


At Mequintrax Digital Services, we provide end-to-end trademark opposition handling services—including drafting oppositions, replying to counterstatements, representation before the Registrar, and ensuring your brand identity stays protected under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.

What is Trademark Opposition?
