   8-Administrative oppositions and legal correspondence: Administrative opposition filed with IIPO, is an important preliminary step in infringement actions. Considering costs associated with litigation, well-draft oppositions and notices may terminate infringements or lead to the friendly settlement of disputes; and in case of an action, it has an important role to play. We draft and file administrative oppositions for you, respond to such oppositions against you, and prepare and send such other notices that seem necessary to protect your rights.
