What is Trademark Cancellation Proceedings?
A trademark cancellation is a TTAB proceeding to cancel an existing federal registration. Grounds include abandonment, fraud on the USPTO, prior rights, genericness, and likelihood of confusion. Cancellation is a counter-tool to trademark monitoring, once a problematic mark has registered, cancellation is often the only way to clear it from the federal register.
When you might need this service
- A registered mark is blocking your application or use, and grounds for cancellation exist.
- A registration was obtained through false statements about use in commerce or ownership.
- A registered mark has not been used commercially for three or more consecutive years (presumed abandonment).
- You received a Petition for Cancellation against your registration and need to defend it.
How Sari Law Firm helps
We evaluate the cancellation grounds (abandonment is the most common), gather evidence (use samples, business records, third-party investigations), file the Petition for Cancellation (or Answer when defending), and litigate through TTAB discovery, motions, and trial. We coordinate with parallel federal court litigation when claims overlap.
