Filing an objection
When should you file an objection?

How do you proceed?
If the registration of a competitor's trade mark is published on www.swissreg.ch, you can file an objection (in German) with us within three months of its publication. The relevant fee must be paid within the same time limit. If your opponent wins, you usually have to reimburse their lawyer's fees.
