In the case of *Major League Soccer L.L.C. v. Jordan Older* (Opposition Case No. 91240089), Major League Soccer, L.L.C. 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 disputed the application, Jordan Older ultimately decided to voluntarily withdraw his trademark after it was published for opposition, with the application marked as “Abandoned – Express After Publication.”

The case, reviewed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), adhered to the usual practice in trademark law, whereby large companies, such as Major League Soccer, aim to safeguard their brand by opposing independent applications. Jordan Older, in spite of the opposition from MLS, succeeded to avoid a extended legal dispute by deciding to abandon the application on his own terms, thereby avoiding possibly expensive and lengthy litigation.

The opposition was overseen 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 April 2018. However, the matter was swiftly settled on 5 April 2018, when the case was terminated and terminated. The rapid conclusion suggests 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 demonstrates Older’s ability to bring the matter to a conclusion efficiently, escaping what could have been an challenging legal battle from a major sports entity. His decision to willingly abandon the mark emphasises his pragmatic decision, 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 JORDAN OLDER demonstrates how individual applicants can make strategic legal decisions to avoid conflicts with large organisations without engaging in long litigation.
