Trademark opposition periods, office by office

A trademark opposition must be filed within a period set by law. Across the seven offices in this table the period runs from 30 days (United States) to 3 months (European Union and Germany). Most offices count it from publication of the application; Germany and Japan count it from publication of the registration. Every row cites its legal basis.
