In the case of *Major League Soccer L.L.C. v. Jordan Older* (Opposition Case No. 91240089), MLS filed an opposition on March 16, 2018 against the trademark application proposed by Jordan Older for the mark “LOS ANGELES F.C.” under Serial No. 86335507. Even though MLS opposed the application, Jordan Older ultimately decided to withdraw his trademark after it was published for opposition, with the application marked as “Abandoned – Express After Publication.”

The case, examined by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), was part of the common practice in trademark law, whereby large companies, such as Major League Soccer, attempt to defend their brand by opposing less-established applications. Jordan Older, despite the opposition from MLS, managed to avoid a extended legal battle by taking the step to abandon the application on his own terms, thereby avoiding likely high-cost and drawn-out litigation.

The opposition was managed by Interlocutory Attorney Jennifer Krisp, with support staff support from Nicole M. Thier. At first, a notice was issued, and trial dates were set, with an answer required from Older by 25 April 2018. check here Nonetheless, the matter was swiftly resolved on April 5, 2018, when the case was terminated and terminated. The rapid conclusion implies that Jordan Older effectively navigated the complexities of the opposition process by voluntarily abandoning the mark, resolving the case before any significant legal disputes arose.

This resolution reflects Older’s capability to settle the issue without delay, escaping what could have been an difficult legal challenge from a major sports entity. His decision to on his own terms abandon the mark emphasises his pragmatic decision, allowing him to bypass the expenses and extended proceedings usual in trademark disputes. Though Major League Soccer’s opposition never reached a formal resolution through the TTAB, this case demonstrates how smaller applicants can make strategic legal decisions to avoid conflicts with large organisations without becoming involved in long litigation.
