TTAB Proceedings

Protecting Your Brand Through Trademark Opposition and Cancellation Proceedings

Trademark disputes often arise when new trademark application filings conflict with existing trademarks. Unlike trademark infringement, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) provides a forum to resolve these conflicts outside of federal court. At Collier Legal, we represent clients in TTAB proceedings to defend their brands against potential infringement or misuse by others.

Our TTAB Services

Trademark Oppositions

Trademark opposition proceedings allow third parties to challenge a trademark application before it matures into a registered trademark. Our team at Collier Legal assists clients in filing or defending against oppositions, representing your interests before the TTAB. We assess each case thoroughly, developing evidence and arguments that strengthen your position while aligning with your business goals.

Trademark Cancellations

When an existing trademark registration conflicts with your brand, a cancellation proceeding may be the best course of action. We handle cancellation petitions to remove conflicting registrations, using our in-depth knowledge of TTAB practices and trademark law to build a compelling case on your behalf.

Ex Parte Appeals

When the USPTO issues a final refusal on a trademark application, filing an appeal with the TTAB can be an effective way to secure registration. Our attorneys provide strategic guidance and representation through ex parte appeals, preparing comprehensive briefs that address the grounds for refusal and aim to secure favorable outcomes.
