In the case of *Major League Soccer L.L.C. v. Jordan Older* (Opposition Case No. 91240089), MLS 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. Even though MLS challenged the application, Jordan Older eventually chose to voluntarily withdraw 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), followed the common practice in trademark law, in which large companies, such as Major League Soccer, seek to protect their brand by opposing less-established applications. Jordan Older, in spite of the opposition from MLS, was able to avoid a extended legal dispute by taking the step to abandon the application on his own terms, consequently avoiding likely costly and drawn-out litigation.

The opposition was overseen 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 due from Older by 25 April 2018. Nonetheless, the matter was quickly concluded on April 5, 2018, when the case was terminated and terminated. The immediate conclusion indicates that Jordan Older effectively navigated the complexities of the opposition process by opting to withdraw the mark, closing the case before any substantive legal disputes occurred.

This JORDAN OLDER SOCCER PLAYER resolution demonstrates Older’s skill to settle the issue without delay, avoiding what could have been an arduous legal challenge from a major sports entity. His decision to voluntarily abandon the mark highlights his strategic approach, allowing him to evade the high costs and drawn-out 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 cautious legal decisions to avoid confrontations with large organisations without engaging in extended litigation.
