The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (“TTAB”) provides trademark owners with a court-like administrative proceeding to challenge another party’s right to own a U.S. trademark registration. In 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court’s pending decision in B&B Hardware, Inc. v. Hargis Industries, Inc. is likely to have an impact on opposition and cancellation proceedings before the TTAB. Michael Best attorneys Katrina Hull and Lori Meddings will cover the TTAB process, explore the significance of the pending U.S. Supreme Court decision and discuss strategic considerations for TTAB cases.
