For clients: your client portal
Your trademark firm uses Nishaan. If they invited you, you can follow your trademarks in your own client portal.
Signing in
Open the link in the invitation email. Choose Continue with Google with the Google account of the address your firm invited, or choose a password of at least 8 characters. After that, sign in the same way at the portal address in the email, or in the Nishaan app with I'm a client of a firm. If the link has expired or you forget your password, ask your firm to send a new invitation.

Approving an opposition
When someone files a mark that may conflict with yours, your firm can ask whether to oppose it. You see the other mark, its class, the journal it appeared in, the last date to oppose and your firm's recommendation. Choose Approve opposition or Decline, and add a note if you like. Your firm is told at once. Opposing usually has costs; ask your firm if you are not sure.
Your data
