Jones Walker represents clients in all phases of proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), including ex parte appeals of examiner decisions, opposition proceedings against pending applications, and cancellation proceedings against registered marks. We represent parties seeking to protect their rights and those challenging others' rights.
TTAB proceedings often offer a faster and more cost-effective path than federal court litigation for resolving trademark disputes. We begin with an early assessment of whether administrative proceedings advance the client's objective or whether traditional litigation is the better route. From there, we develop a focused strategy tailored to the record, the claims, and the business stakes involved.
