An opposition is a proceeding before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) — either challenging someone else’s pending application, or defending your own against a challenge.
Referred to our attorney partner. This is a Tier 2 service: opposition proceedings are legal representation, handled by our independent, licensed attorney partner, not by TCG directly.
TTAB proceedings function like a specialized federal litigation — pleadings, discovery, evidence, and briefing — and require an attorney representing your interests before the Board.
TCG refers opposition matters to our independent attorney partner, who can evaluate the situation and represent you if you choose to proceed.

No — TCG is not a law firm. TTAB representation is handled by our independent attorney partner under a separate engagement.
Typically quoted hourly or as a retainer, starting in the low thousands depending on complexity — the attorney will quote your specific matter.
These proceedings commonly run many months to over a year, depending on how contested they are.
