In the case of *Major League Soccer L.L.C. v. Jordan Older* (Opposition Case No. 91240089), Major League Soccer, L.L.C. started an opposition on 16 March 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 abandon 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), adhered to the usual practice in trademark law, whereby larger organisations, such as Major League Soccer, aim to safeguard their brand by opposing independent applications. Jordan Older, regardless of the opposition from MLS, succeeded to avoid a extended legal conflict by deciding to abandon the application on his own terms, consequently avoiding likely high-cost and protracted litigation.

The opposition was supervised by Interlocutory Attorney Jennifer Krisp, with legal assistant 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. However, the matter was swiftly resolved on April 5, 2018, when the case was terminated and terminated. The immediate conclusion implies that Jordan Older successfully navigated the complexities of the opposition process by choosing to abandon the mark, settling the case before any meaningful legal disputes occurred.

This outcome shows Older’s skill to resolve the matter quickly, sidestepping what could have been an arduous legal dispute from a major sports entity. His decision to on his own terms abandon the mark shows his read more strategic approach, 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 illustrates how individual applicants can take careful legal decisions to avoid disputes with major entities without engaging in extended litigation.
