TTAB Attorneys
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is responsible for the registration and prosecution of trademarks. The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) is responsible for proceedings to decide matters related to trademarks. These proceedings include appeals from USPTO Examining Attorneys’ denial of registration of a mark, opposition proceedings filed against trademark applications, trademark cancellation proceedings, and concurrent use proceedings. TTAB administrative proceedings are similar to court proceedings in that a judge presides over the proceeding. In addition, particular rules govern the practices and procedures in front of the TTAB. These rules are captured in the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Manual or Procedure, also known as the TBMP.
