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

The case, heard by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), adhered to the typical practice in trademark law, in which major corporations, such as Major League Soccer, aim to safeguard their brand by opposing smaller applications. Jordan Older, regardless of the opposition from MLS, managed to avoid a extended legal battle by deciding to abandon the application on his own terms, thereby avoiding likely costly and protracted litigation.

The opposition was managed by Interlocutory Attorney Jennifer Krisp, with paralegal support from Nicole M. website Thier. To begin, a notice was issued, and trial dates were set, with an answer required from Older by April 25, 2018. Nevertheless, the matter was swiftly concluded on April 5, 2018, when the case was terminated and terminated. The immediate conclusion suggests that Jordan Older efficiently navigated the complexities of the opposition process by choosing to abandon the mark, settling the case before any meaningful legal disputes arose.

This resolution demonstrates Older’s skill to settle the issue without delay, avoiding what could have been an arduous legal challenge from a major sports entity. His decision to willingly abandon the mark shows his pragmatic decision, enabling him to avoid the high costs and extended proceedings usual in trademark disputes. Although Major League Soccer’s opposition never attained a formal resolution through the TTAB, this case shows how smaller applicants can make careful legal decisions to avoid disputes with powerful companies without becoming involved in long litigation.
