Trademark Cancellation: Protect Your Brand with AMZ Sellers Attorney®

By: AMZ Sellers Attorney®

Published: January 10, 2025

In the competitive world of e-commerce, protecting your brand is paramount. However, sometimes you may encounter trademarks that are invalid, infringe on your rights, or create confusion in the marketplace. In such cases, trademark cancellation proceedings offer a legal avenue to challenge and potentially invalidate problematic trademarks. AMZ Sellers Attorney® provides expert legal representation in trademark cancellation cases, helping you safeguard your brand and secure your market position.

What is Trademark Cancellation?

Trademark cancellation is a legal process through which a party can petition the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) to cancel a registered trademark. This can be done for various reasons, including:

• Genericness: The mark has become a generic term for the goods or services it represents.
• Functionality: The mark consists of a functional feature of the product or service.
• Abandonment: The mark has been abandoned by the owner.
• Fraud: The registration was obtained through fraudulent means.
• Likelihood of Confusion: The mark is likely to cause confusion with a prior registered mark.
• Descriptiveness: The mark is merely descriptive of the goods or services.
• Lack of Distinctiveness: The mark lacks inherent distinctiveness or has not acquired secondary meaning.

The TTAB is an administrative tribunal within the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that adjudicates disputes related to trademarks. Trademark cancellation proceedings before the TTAB involve presenting evidence and legal arguments to demonstrate that the registered trademark should be canceled.

How Can Trademark Cancellation Benefit E-commerce Sellers?

Trademark cancellation can be a valuable tool for e-commerce sellers facing challenges from invalid or infringing trademarks. By successfully canceling a problematic trademark, you can:

• Protect Your Brand: Prevent confusion in the marketplace and safeguard your brand's reputation.
• Secure Your Market Share: Eliminate unfair competition from invalid or infringing trademarks.
• Clear the Path for Your Own Trademark: If a similar mark is blocking your trademark application, cancellation can pave the way for your registration.
• Enforce Your Rights: Protect your intellectual property and prevent others from unfairly profiting from your brand.

For e-commerce sellers, trademarks are essential for building brand recognition, customer loyalty, and a strong online presence. Trademark cancellation can help you protect your brand's value and prevent others from using similar marks that could confuse consumers or dilute your brand's identity.

How AMZ Sellers Attorney® Can Help with Trademark Cancellation

Our experienced trademark attorneys can guide you through the complexities of trademark cancellation proceedings and provide expert legal representation. Our services include:

• Case Evaluation: We assess the viability of your cancellation case and advise you on the best course of action.
• Evidence Gathering: We conduct thorough investigations and gather evidence to support your cancellation claim.
• Petition Preparation and Filing: We prepare and file a comprehensive cancellation petition with the TTAB, ensuring all necessary legal requirements are met.
• TTAB Representation: We represent you throughout the cancellation proceedings, including discovery, hearings, and potential appeals.
• Negotiation and Settlement: We explore opportunities for negotiation and settlement with the opposing party to achieve a favorable resolution.

Our team has extensive experience in handling trademark cancellation cases before the TTAB. We understand the intricacies of trademark law and the TTAB procedures, and we are committed to providing you with the best possible legal representation to protect your brand.

Trademark Expungement and Reexamination: Clearing the Path for Your Brand

Did you know that thousands of trademarks on the USPTO register include goods and services that were never actually used in commerce? These unused trademarks can create obstacles for legitimate businesses seeking to register their own marks. Fortunately, the USPTO offers two powerful tools to address this issue: expungement and reexamination proceedings. These proceedings provide a streamlined way to challenge existing trademark registrations and clear the path for your brand.

What are Expungement and Reexamination Proceedings?

Expungement and reexamination are legal procedures that allow anyone to challenge the validity of a registered trademark based on nonuse. In essence, if a trademark owner has not used their mark in commerce for the goods or services listed in their registration, their registration may be vulnerable to cancellation through these proceedings.

• Expungement

  Expungement proceedings focus on challenging the registration of a trademark for goods or services that were not in use in commerce at the time the application was filed or within a specific period after registration. If successful, the expungement proceeding will result in the removal of the unused goods or services from the trademark registration.

• Reexamination

  Reexamination proceedings, on the other hand, focus on challenging the registration of a trademark for goods or services that were not in use in commerce before the relevant registration date. Similar to expungement, a successful reexamination proceeding will lead to the removal of the unused goods or services from the trademark registration.

Why are Expungement and Reexamination Important for E-commerce Sellers?

E-commerce sellers often encounter challenges when registering their trademarks due to existing registrations that block their applications. These blocking registrations may cover goods or services that are similar to yours, even if those goods or services are not actively being used by the registrant. This can be particularly frustrating when you've invested significant time and effort in developing your brand and trademark.

Expungement and reexamination proceedings provide a valuable tool for e-commerce sellers to overcome these obstacles. By challenging unused trademark registrations, you can clear the path for your own trademark application and secure your brand's protection in the marketplace.

How to Petition for Expungement or Reexamination

Anyone can petition the USPTO to initiate expungement or reexamination proceedings. The process involves several key steps:

1. File a Petition

   You must file a petition with the USPTO, clearly identifying the registered trademark you are challenging and the specific goods or services for which you believe there is nonuse. The petition must be filed electronically through the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS).

2. Collect Robust Evidence

   You need to gather and submit robust evidence supporting your claim of nonuse. This evidence may include market research data, website screenshots, and sworn declarations. The evidence must be clear and convincing to demonstrate that the trademark owner has not used the mark in commerce for the specified goods or services.

3. Pay the Petition Fee

   There is a petition fee associated with filing for expungement or reexamination. The fee amount is subject to change, so it's important to check the USPTO website for the current fee schedule.

Once the petition is submitted, the USPTO will review it for completeness and sufficiency of evidence. If the petition meets the requirements, the USPTO will institute the proceeding and notify the trademark owner. The trademark owner then has an opportunity to respond to the petition and provide evidence of use. If the USPTO determines that the evidence establishes nonuse, the registration will be canceled or amended to remove the unused goods or services.

Benefits of Clearing Unused Goods and Services

Clearing unused goods and services from the trademark register offers several benefits:

• Unblocks Trademark Applications

  Removing unused trademarks can pave the way for your trademark application to proceed to registration without facing a likelihood of confusion refusal.

• Strengthens Your Trademark Rights

  Clearing potentially conflicting marks can strengthen your trademark rights and reduce the risk of future infringement claims.

• Promotes Fair Competition

  Removing unused trademarks helps ensure that the trademark register accurately reflects the marks that are actively being used in commerce, promoting fair competition in the marketplace.

Our trademark registration service includes a comprehensive trademark search, preparation and filing of the trademark registration application with the USPTO, and responses to any office actions—all for one low fee. We specialize in eCommerce trademarks, ensuring your brand is protected across all digital platforms.

What is TEAS, and how is it used in trademark applications?

TEAS, or the Trademark Electronic Application System, is the USPTO’s online portal for filing trademark applications. It allows applicants to submit and manage their applications efficiently. We guide you through the TEAS process, ensuring accurate filing and proper documentation.

How long does the trademark application process take?

The trademark application process typically takes 8 to 12 months, depending on factors like office actions and opposition filings. Expedited approval may be requested in specific circumstances, such as pending litigation or urgent business needs.

Can I use the ® symbol before my trademark is registered?

No, the ® symbol can only be used once your trademark is officially registered with the USPTO. Prior to registration, you may use the ™ symbol to indicate your claim to the mark.

Can I submit a trademark application before selling products or services?

Yes, you can file an intent-to-use application if you haven’t started selling your products or services yet. This reserves your rights to the trademark while you prepare to launch your brand.

How do I handle a situation where someone is infringing on my trademark?

To address infringement, you can issue a cease-and-desist letter, file a takedown notice (for online platforms), or pursue legal action. We assist in crafting effective enforcement strategies to protect your rights.

Will the USPTO notify me if someone infringes on my trademark?

No, the USPTO does not monitor for trademark infringement. It’s your responsibility to monitor and enforce your trademark rights. We offer trademark monitoring services to keep your brand secure.

What is the USPTO’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board?

The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) is a legal body that handles disputes regarding trademark registration, including oppositions and cancellations. We represent clients in TTAB proceedings to defend their trademarks.

What are the benefits of conducting a trademark clearance search?

A clearance search identifies existing trademarks that could conflict with your application. This reduces the risk of rejection or infringement claims and ensures you’re building a legally protected brand.

How can I determine if a trademark is available?

A comprehensive search of the USPTO database, common law sources, and online platforms is necessary to determine trademark availability. Our clearance services help you avoid conflicts and ensure your application proceeds smoothly.

If I only provide my services in Los Angeles, can I still obtain a federal trademark?

Yes, as long as your services cross state lines or affect interstate commerce. We specialize in helping Los Angeles-based businesses secure federal trademarks.

Can I transfer my trademark to someone else?

Yes, trademarks can be assigned to another party through a formal transfer process. We handle trademark assignments to ensure compliance with USPTO requirements.

Can I license my trademark to others?

Yes, licensing allows others to use your trademark under specific terms. We draft licensing agreements to help you expand your brand while maintaining control.

Should I hire a trademark attorney to help me register my trademark?

Yes, a trademark attorney ensures your application is correctly filed, monitors for potential issues, and increases the likelihood of approval. Our experienced attorneys provide expert guidance throughout the process.
