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 submitted by Jordan Older for the mark “LOS ANGELES F.C.” under Serial No. 86335507. While MLS opposed the application, Jordan Older eventually decided to voluntarily 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 typical practice in trademark law, whereby major corporations, such as Major League Soccer, aim to safeguard their brand by opposing less-established applications. Jordan Older, regardless of the opposition from MLS, was able to avoid a lengthy legal battle by taking the step to abandon the application on his own terms, thereby avoiding potentially high-cost and drawn-out litigation.

The opposition was managed by Interlocutory Attorney Jennifer Krisp, with support staff support from Nicole M. Thier. To begin, a notice was issued, and trial dates were set, with an answer required from Older by 25 website April 2018. 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 developed.

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 highlights his pragmatic decision, allowing him to bypass the expenses and extended proceedings usual in trademark disputes. Though Major League Soccer’s opposition never achieved a formal resolution through the TTAB, this case illustrates how independent applicants can use cautious legal decisions to avoid conflicts with large organisations without becoming involved in long litigation.
