Trademark opposition procedures in Argentina have traditionally fallen under the competence of the judiciary, leading to considerable delays in the registration of trademarks and increase of costs, particularly by arisen obstacles and the impossibility of reaching an amicable settlement.

On July 18, 2018, the Resolution P-138 was published in the Argentinian Trademark and Patent Gazette. The resolution regulates the new administrative procedure for trademark oppositions, in contrast to its previous judicial character.

The prestigious directory LEADERS LEAGUE has confirmed the position of Herrero & Asociados as a leader in the Intellectual property, Trademark prosecution and Intellectual property consulting in Spain, within its 2018 ranking.
