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 16 March 2018 against the trademark application proposed by Jordan Older for the mark “LOS ANGELES F.C.” under Serial No. 86335507. Although MLS disputed the application, Jordan Older ultimately opted to voluntarily withdraw 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), adhered to the typical practice in trademark law, where large companies, such as Major League Soccer, aim to safeguard their brand by opposing smaller applications. Jordan Older, regardless of the opposition from MLS, succeeded to avoid a lengthy legal battle by deciding to abandon the application on his own terms, thus avoiding potentially high-cost and protracted litigation.

The opposition was overseen by Interlocutory Attorney Jennifer Krisp, with support staff support from Nicole M. Thier. At first, a notice was issued, and trial dates were set, with an answer due from Older by April 25, 2018. here Nonetheless, the matter was promptly concluded on April 5, 2018, when the case was closed and terminated. The immediate conclusion suggests that Jordan Older efficiently navigated the complexities of the opposition process by choosing to abandon the mark, closing the case before any meaningful legal disputes developed.

This resolution reflects Older’s ability to bring the matter to a conclusion efficiently, escaping what could have been an difficult legal battle from a major sports entity. His decision to voluntarily abandon the mark emphasises his tactical choice, enabling him to evade the financial burdens and protracted proceedings typical in trademark disputes. Although Major League Soccer’s opposition never achieved a formal resolution through the TTAB, this case shows how independent applicants can use careful legal decisions to avoid disputes with major entities without entering into lengthy litigation.
