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 challenged the application, Jordan Older ultimately 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 typical practice in trademark law, in which larger organisations, such as Major League Soccer, seek to protect their brand by opposing less-established applications. Jordan Older, in spite of the opposition from MLS, succeeded to avoid a extended legal conflict by deciding to abandon the application on his own terms, thereby avoiding potentially costly 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 expected from Older MLS vs JORDAN OLDER by April 25, 2018. Nevertheless, the matter was quickly resolved on 5 April 2018, when the case was dismissed and terminated. The immediate conclusion indicates that Jordan Older efficiently 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 resolve the matter quickly, sidestepping what could have been an arduous legal dispute from a major sports entity. His decision to on his own terms abandon the mark shows his strategic approach, letting him to avoid the expenses and extended proceedings usual in trademark disputes. Though Major League Soccer’s opposition 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.
