Answer ... The Patents and Companies Registration Agency (PACRA).
Zambia
Answer ... A party must file a notice of opposition with PACRA within two months of the date of publication of the application in the Industrial Property Journal. The notice is accompanied by a statement of the grounds of opposition.
The registrar will then serve the notice on the applicant, which must file a counter-statement within two months of receipt of the opposition. The parties must then file evidence in the form of affidavits or solemn declarations; thereafter, the registrar will set a date to hear the arguments of both parties. After this hearing, the registrar will determine whether the registration of the trademark should proceed. If the aggrieved party is dissatisfied with the registrar’s decision, it may appeal to the High Court.
