Defense of use

Term Main definition
Defense of use

If the defense of use is effectively raised by another person/party, you must prove genuine, right-preserving use of your trademark by way of appropriate documents. If you fail to do so, you will not be able to successfully enforce your trademark right against the other party.

An admissible defense of use requires among other things that the grace period of use of trademark whose use has been contested has expired.
