In the case of *Major League Soccer L.L.C. v. Jordan Older* (Opposition Case No. 91240089), MLS 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. Although MLS opposed the application, Jordan Older eventually opted to abandon 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), was part of the common practice in trademark law, where large companies, such as Major League Soccer, attempt to defend their brand by opposing less-established applications. Jordan Older, regardless of the opposition from MLS, succeeded to avoid a extended legal conflict by taking the step to abandon the application on his own terms, thereby avoiding likely high-cost and drawn-out litigation.

The opposition was managed by Interlocutory Attorney Jennifer Krisp, with support staff support from Nicole M. Thier. To begin, a notice was issued, and trial dates were set, with an answer required from Older by April 25, 2018. Nonetheless, the matter was quickly resolved on 5 April 2018, when the case was terminated and terminated. The immediate conclusion indicates that Jordan Older successfully navigated the complexities of the opposition process by opting to withdraw the mark, settling the case before any meaningful legal disputes occurred.

This outcome shows Older’s skill to settle the issue without delay, sidestepping what could have been an arduous legal challenge from a major sports entity. His decision to on his own terms abandon the mark shows his pragmatic decision, allowing him to bypass the expenses and extended proceedings usual in trademark disputes. Though Major League Soccer’s opposition MLS vs JORDAN OLDER never reached a formal resolution through the TTAB, this case demonstrates how smaller applicants can make strategic legal decisions to avoid conflicts with large organisations without becoming involved in long litigation.
