What to do about “Opposed”: yourself, or with an expert
The government fee is the same either way. Here is exactly what the portal asks for, and what an expert would do differently.
Do it yourself · ipindiaonline.gov.in
File the counter-statement
You need
- Class 3 DSC of the applicant (or authorised signatory) and your portal login.
- The notice of opposition (from the portal documents).
- Facts of your adoption and use of the mark, with dates and proof.
- Grounds answering each ground in the notice.
On the portal
- Log in → Comprehensive e-Filing → Form TM-O → Counter-statement; enter the application and opposition numbers.
- Draft the counter-statement: admit or deny each paragraph of the notice and state your own case (honest adoption, distinctiveness, differences, prior use if any).
- Sign with the DSC, pay ₹2,700, submit.
- Then the evidence rounds: the opponent files evidence by affidavit within 2 months; you file yours within 2 months after that; the opponent may reply within 1 month. A hearing follows.
Where people slip
- No counter-statement in 2 months: the application is treated as abandoned.
- Missing an evidence deadline: that side's evidence is treated as not filed.
- Fighting a strong opponent to the end when a settlement or a small change would have kept the brand.

Should you file yourself or use an expert?Six honest differences, and when DIY is fine
YourselfWith an expert
Search and the go/no-go callYourself: The free search here finds spelling and sound-alikes. Logos, related classes and prefixes/suffixes need a manual look, and the call on 'file or change the name' is yours.Expert: Checks devices and related classes too, and tells you before you pay the fee whether to file, tweak the name, or pick another class. A refused filing costs the full government fee.
Class and the goods/services wordingYourself: The description cannot be widened after filing. Too narrow leaves gaps; too broad invites objections and oppositions. Wrong class means filing again and paying again.Expert: Writes the specification to cover what you sell now and will sell, in the classes that matter, in the wording examiners accept.
Fee category and proofYourself: Filing as a startup or MSME without the certificate draws a deficit-fee notice and delays examination.Expert: Gets the Udyam or startup proof in order first so the ₹4,500 fee holds.
Examination report (about 4 in 10 applications get one)Yourself: The reply is a legal argument: why the mark is distinctive (Section 9) or not confusingly similar to the marks cited (Section 11), with evidence and case references. 30 days, no extension to count on. A weak reply leads to a hearing or refusal.Expert: Drafts the reply to each objection with precedent and your evidence of use; knows when a consent letter or a small change saves the application.
Hearings and oppositionsYourself: Hearings are argued live (video). Oppositions run through pleadings and two evidence rounds with 2-month deadlines; one missed step and the application is abandoned.Expert: Appears for you, files on time, and advises whether to fight, settle or withdraw before more money goes in.
Deadlines over the 12 to 24 monthsYourself: You watch the status yourself: reply in 30 days, opposition window 4 months, counter-statement 2 months, renewal every 10 years. Most dead applications died of a missed date, not a bad mark.Expert: Tracks every date and tells you only when something needs a decision.
Doing it yourself is reasonable when
- It is a plain word mark (no logo) in one class.
- The search shows no identical or sound-alike live mark in that class.
- You have, or will get, a Class 3 DSC and are comfortable with online forms.
- You can describe your goods or services precisely and will check the status every month for a year or two.
What it costs either way
- Government fee: the same whoever files (₹4,500 or ₹9,000 per class).
- Yourself: plus a DSC (about ₹1,000 to ₹1,500) and your time.
- With Invorn: a professional fee on top of the government fee, shown on the fee table. Free consultation first; if you are not happy before the application is submitted, the fee is refunded.
Invorn: search + filing from ₹1,299 + govt fee · objection reply ₹1,949 (no govt fee). Full fee table.
