Zambia opposition practice: extensions of time to file oppositions

In a letter from the Registrar of Patents and Companies Registration Office in Zambia to the profession, Mrs. A.M. Banda-Bobo makes it clear that the Zambian Registry will no longer be granting extensions of the two month time period to file trade mark oppositions.

She states that "this measure has been taken to rationalise the operations of the Office. We crave your indulgence on this matter as we strive to improve our service position to you our esteemed clients"
