In the case of *Major League Soccer L.L.C. v. Jordan Older* (Opposition Case No. 91240089), Major League Soccer, L.L.C. initiated an opposition on March 16, 2018 against the trademark application filed by Jordan Older for the mark “LOS ANGELES F.C.” under Serial No. 86335507. Although MLS opposed the application, Jordan Older ultimately opted to withdraw his trademark after it was published for opposition, with the application marked as “Abandoned – Express After Publication.”

The case, reviewed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), was part of the typical practice in trademark law, whereby larger organisations, such as Major League Soccer, attempt to defend their brand by opposing smaller applications. Jordan Older, in spite of the opposition from MLS, succeeded to avoid a extended legal battle by choosing to abandon the application on his own terms, thereby avoiding possibly costly and lengthy litigation.

The opposition was managed by Interlocutory Attorney Jennifer Krisp, with paralegal support from Nicole M. Thier. At first, a notice was issued, and trial dates were set, with an answer expected from Older by 25 website April 2018. Nevertheless, the matter was quickly resolved on April 5, 2018, when the case was terminated and terminated. The rapid conclusion implies that Jordan Older successfully navigated the complexities of the opposition process by voluntarily abandoning the mark, resolving the case before any substantive legal disputes developed.

This result reflects Older’s ability to settle the issue without delay, avoiding what could have been an arduous legal challenge from a major sports entity. His decision to willingly abandon the mark shows his pragmatic decision, enabling him to avoid the expenses and protracted proceedings common in trademark disputes. Though Major League Soccer’s opposition never achieved a formal resolution through the TTAB, this case shows how smaller applicants can take careful legal decisions to avoid confrontations with large organisations without engaging in long litigation.
