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 filed 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 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), 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, in spite of the opposition from MLS, was able to avoid a extended legal conflict by deciding to abandon the application on his own terms, consequently avoiding potentially expensive and protracted litigation.

The opposition was supervised by Interlocutory Attorney Jennifer Krisp, with legal assistant support from Nicole M. Thier. click here 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 settled on April 5, 2018, when the case was closed and terminated. The rapid conclusion implies that Jordan Older effectively navigated the complexities of the opposition process by choosing to abandon the mark, closing the case before any meaningful legal disputes occurred.

His decision to on his own terms abandon the mark highlights his tactical choice, allowing him to evade the high costs and extended proceedings usual in trademark disputes. Though Major League Soccer’s opposition never achieved a formal resolution through the TTAB, this case demonstrates how independent applicants can use cautious legal decisions to avoid confrontations with major entities without becoming involved in long litigation.
