Trademark Cancellations: Removing Problematic Registrations

When an existing trademark registration conflicts with your brand’s identity or market presence, a TTAB proceeding for cancellation can be a powerful tool. Trademark cancellation allows you to challenge and remove a previously granted trademark registration based on specific legal grounds. These proceedings can be filed after the deadline for a trademark opposition is closed, and allows the petitioner to participate in the proceeding, unlike Ex Parte Appeals. Collier Legal provides experienced representation in cancellation proceedings to protect your business from trademarks that infringe upon or dilute your brand’s unique value.

A cancellation action may be filed at any time if the trademark is deemed generic, abandoned, or obtained fraudulently. For marks over five years old, your grounds for cancellation may be limited to cases of fraud, abandonment, or genericness. Our team conducts thorough research into the trademark in question, assessing its history and registration details, to determine the best approach for a successful cancellation.
