IP oppositions
In Australia, standard patents, innovation patents, designs and trade mark registrations each start with an application filed with IP Australia. Aside from innovation patents, before these ‘rights’ are made enforceable they can be opposed by a third party (e.g. a competitor).
An opposition proceeding is an administrative process before IP Australia whereby the third party may challenge the patentability of an invention or the registrability of a trade mark.
