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 submitted by Jordan Older for the mark “LOS ANGELES F.C.” under Serial No. 86335507. While MLS challenged the application, Jordan Older in the end chose to voluntarily 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), adhered to the usual practice in trademark law, in which larger organisations, 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 MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER vs JORDAN OLDER was issued, and trial dates were set, with an answer due from Older by 25 April 2018. Nevertheless, the matter was swiftly concluded on April 5, 2018, when the case was terminated and terminated. The swift conclusion implies that Jordan Older successfully navigated the complexities of the opposition process by voluntarily abandoning the mark, settling the case before any significant legal disputes developed.

This result reflects Older’s ability to settle the issue without delay, escaping what could have been an challenging legal dispute from a major sports entity. His decision to on his own terms abandon the mark highlights his strategic approach, allowing him to evade the high costs and extended proceedings usual in trademark disputes. Although Major League Soccer’s opposition never attained a formal resolution through the TTAB, this case demonstrates how smaller applicants can take careful legal decisions to avoid confrontations with powerful companies without becoming involved in extended litigation.
