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 proposed by Jordan Older for the mark “LOS ANGELES F.C.” under Serial No. 86335507. Even though MLS challenged the application, Jordan Older ultimately opted to withdraw his trademark after it was published for opposition, with the application marked as “Abandoned – Express After Publication.”

The case, heard by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), adhered to the usual practice in trademark law, in which major corporations, such as Major League Soccer, attempt to defend their brand by opposing less-established applications. Jordan Older, in spite of the opposition from MLS, succeeded to avoid a extended legal conflict by deciding to abandon the application on his own terms, thus avoiding potentially high-cost and protracted litigation.

The opposition was overseen by Interlocutory Attorney Jennifer Krisp, with support staff support from Nicole M. Thier. At first, a notice was issued, and trial dates were set, with an answer due from Older by April 25, 2018. Nonetheless, the matter was promptly resolved on April 5, 2018, when the case was dismissed and terminated. The immediate conclusion implies that Jordan Older efficiently navigated the complexities of the opposition process by opting to withdraw the mark, closing the case before any significant legal disputes arose.

This result reflects Older’s capability to resolve the matter quickly, escaping what could have been an difficult legal dispute from a major sports entity. His decision to voluntarily abandon the mark highlights his pragmatic decision, allowing him to avoid the financial burdens and protracted proceedings usual in trademark disputes. Though Major League Soccer’s opposition never attained a formal resolution through the TTAB, this case illustrates how smaller applicants here can make strategic legal decisions to avoid conflicts with major entities without engaging in extended litigation.
