Any person, business, or legal entity can file a notice of opposition if they believe a trademark may harm their rights. This includes:

  • Existing Trademark Owners – To prevent similarity or confusion.
  • Competitors – To avoid unfair competition.
  • Industry Stakeholders – To challenge misleading trademarks.
  • Government Bodies/NGOs – If the mark is offensive or against public policy.

Opposition helps maintain fair competition and protect brand identity.
