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 eventually 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), was part of the usual practice in trademark law, in which larger organisations, such as Major League Soccer, aim to safeguard their brand by opposing less-established applications. Jordan Older, in spite of the opposition from MLS, succeeded to avoid a prolonged legal battle by choosing to abandon the application on his own terms, thereby avoiding likely high-cost 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 required from Older by 25 April 2018. Nonetheless, the matter was promptly concluded on 5 April 2018, when the case was terminated and terminated. The immediate conclusion indicates that Jordan Older effectively navigated the complexities of the opposition process by opting to withdraw the mark, closing the case before any significant legal disputes arose.

This outcome shows Older’s skill to bring the matter to a conclusion efficiently, avoiding what could have been an challenging legal battle from a major sports entity. His decision to voluntarily abandon the mark emphasises his pragmatic decision, allowing him to avoid the expenses and extended proceedings usual in trademark disputes. While Major League Soccer’s opposition never reached a formal resolution through the TTAB, this case demonstrates how smaller applicants can make careful legal decisions to avoid conflicts with large organisations without becoming involved in extended litigation.
