Ah, great. So he does have time to oppose it. Even though it's relatively simple to oppose he'll probably still have to put up a ~$6K retainer for a lawyer to oppose. And if he wanted to challenge their use of his trademark (even though he didn't register yet) he'd probably have to pay out ~$25K for a retainer, but realistically, he'd probably spend around $50k to challenge use of the trademark. Further, if he wasn't using the trademark for commerce but the new registration is using it for commerce he isn't guaranteed to win. Trademark is not the same as copyright - that's why apple can take over the apple trademark for music.
