NEWS FLASH
New TTAB functionality: As part of the USPTO’s efforts to modernize its systems and improve customer experience, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) Center open beta has been launched for filing notices of opposition. An opposition is a TTAB proceeding in which a party may challenge the registration of a trademark.
During the form’s open beta period, expected to last six months, customers may file a notice of opposition using TTAB Center or the existing filing platform, the Electronic System for Trademark Trials and Appeals (ESTTA). Customers can then provide feedback on their experience and suggestions for improvements using a blue “feedback” button at ttabcenter.uspto.gov.
