In the case of *Major League Soccer L.L.C. v. Jordan Older* (Opposition Case No. 91240089), MLS initiated 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 opted to voluntarily 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, in which larger organisations, such as Major League Soccer, seek to protect their brand by opposing independent applications. Jordan Older, despite the opposition from MLS, managed to avoid a prolonged legal battle by taking the step to abandon the application on his own terms, consequently avoiding likely expensive and protracted litigation.

The opposition was supervised by Interlocutory Attorney Jennifer Krisp, with legal assistant support from Nicole M. Thier. At first, a notice was issued, and trial dates were set, with an answer due from Older by 25 April 2018. However, the matter was swiftly resolved on 5 April 2018, when the case was terminated and terminated. The immediate conclusion indicates that Jordan Older efficiently navigated the complexities of the opposition process by voluntarily abandoning the mark, resolving the case before any substantive legal disputes arose.

This outcome reflects Older’s capability to bring the matter to a conclusion efficiently, escaping what could have been an difficult legal battle from a major sports entity. His decision to voluntarily abandon the mark highlights his tactical choice, enabling him to evade the high costs and drawn-out proceedings common in trademark disputes. While Major League Soccer’s opposition never attained a formal resolution through the TTAB, this case shows how independent applicants can make strategic legal decisions to avoid conflicts with large organisations without becoming involved in check here long litigation.
