Opposition and appeal – risk assessments should always build on recent court decisions

Your patent attorney’s risk assessments should always build on recent court decisions. When it comes to opposing a granted patent, it is essential to thoroughly study the latest decisions to better predict how the Opposition Division or Boards of Appeal will interpret the law.

The same applies if you are the proprietor of an opposed patent. If it is not possible to reach an agreement with the patent holder, Ström & Gulliksson can represent you before the Opposition Division as well as before the Boards of Appeal. Before any opposition proceedings, we carefully assess potential gains and risks as well as the likelihood of a positive outcome,  and thereafter determine the optimal approach. During the process, we give you active support which continues through the appeals procedure.

Ström & Gulliksson represents both proprietors and opponents, and we have an impressive success rate.
