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 submitted by Jordan Older for the mark “LOS ANGELES F.C.” under Serial No. 86335507. While MLS disputed the application, Jordan Older in the end decided to abandon 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, whereby 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, managed to avoid a prolonged legal conflict by deciding to abandon the application on his own terms, thus avoiding possibly costly and lengthy litigation.

The opposition was managed by Interlocutory Attorney Jennifer Krisp, with paralegal support from Nicole M. Thier. To begin, a notice was issued, and trial dates were set, with an answer required from Older by 25 April 2018. However, the matter was promptly concluded on April 5, 2018, when the case was closed and terminated. The swift conclusion suggests that Jordan Older efficiently navigated the complexities of the opposition process by opting to withdraw the mark, resolving the case before any significant legal disputes arose.

This resolution shows Older’s skill to resolve the matter quickly, escaping what could have been an arduous legal dispute from a major sports entity. website His decision to willingly abandon the mark highlights his pragmatic decision, allowing him to avoid the expenses and extended proceedings common in trademark disputes. Though Major League Soccer’s opposition never reached a formal resolution through the TTAB, this case shows how individual applicants can use careful legal decisions to avoid conflicts with powerful companies without engaging in long litigation.
