Opposition proceedings are an amazing tool for third parties seeking freedom to operate. They are cost-effective compared to litigating a patent in even a single national court; the decisions are consistent and rendered in a timely manner.

Our experienced Opposition team has an impressive record of helping Patentees defend and maintain their rights during opposition proceedings initiated by third parties. The team is also regularly involved in opposing third party rights on behalf of our clients, successfully obtaining freedom to operate.
