Administrative Litigation

Opposition Procedure

Dreyfus assists clients in administrative procedures allowing them to request the total or partial rejection of a trademark application that infringes upon prior IP rights. This efficient, cost-effective procedure does not require court appearances.

Nullity and Revocation Procedures

Dreyfus advises on requests for nullity or revocation of a trademark due to reasons such as lack of use or misleading usage. These procedures are managed by our specialized legal team to facilitate the removal of unused trademarks, thereby allowing clients to use them.

Judicial Litigation

In addition to administrative actions, judicial proceedings may be pursued. Since 2008, infringement actions related to copyright, designs, models, or trademarks are exclusively heard by specific courts. Dreyfus brings expertise in managing these judicial processes.
