What is the TTAB?
The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) hears and decides trademark oppositions and cancellations, handles concurrent use proceedings, and decides appeals of final refusals issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. We routinely handle oppositions, cancellation and concurrent use rights and are experienced in all phases of TTAB proceedings, including, but not limited, to settlement conferences; initial, expert, and pretrial disclosures; and the creation and review of expert reports and testimony.
Recent rule and statutory changes has led to TTAB proceedings being similar to civil litigation, therefore, we apply our proven litigation skill to successfully resolve cases in a variety of ways, from early settlement through trial.
