  1. What is Patent Opposition? By Charles Ferguson

  2. What we'll discuss Intellectual property (IP) rights are legally granted to inventors and creators for their original creations. In exchange for this, the owner of the IP must make their creation publicly available, so that it can be used by others once the patent application process has been completed.

  3. What is a patent opposition? A patent opposition is a procedure in which any party may oppose the grant of a European patent on the grounds that the claimed invention is not patentable. The opposition procedure is governed by the EPC and national laws of the member states.What Are the Issues When Taking Patents? Patent litigation is fraught with an array of issues and can lead to high costs for both parties. As a result, litigation is an important tool for protecting intellectual property, particularly when dealing with newly invented products and processes.

  4. How to file a patent opposition? Inventor can file a patent opposition by sending a Notice of Opposition to the patent office. The Notice of Opposition must contain: 1) A statement that the Notice of Opposition is filed under 35 U.S.C. § 102 (a) (2)(B)(i) or § 103 2) A statement that the patent is being opposed under 35 U.S.C. § 102.1 (a)(2) or § 103. (b) The patent must also contain the date the opposition was filed and the filing fee, if any. The patent owner cannot have been a party to the objection and cannot have nothing to say in the record regarding the opposition. 3) The invention must be the same as, or similar to, the claimed invention.

  5. Benefits of filing a patent opposition If you would like to oppose a patent, you must file a petition with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) within 30 months of the patent’s issuance. The 30-month time period for filing an opposition petition begins on the date of the patent’s issuance, not on the date you were notified of the patent.After you file a petition for an opposition, a third party, the owner of the rights to the same invention, must then file a counter-petition. The purpose of the counter-petition is to explain why you are the more correct creator.
