TTAB Attorneys in Miami

Schedulean appointment

When a competitor challenges your trademark application, or you need to cancel a registration blocking your business, the case is resolved before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board — the TTAB. This is not an informal process: it has strict rules and immovable deadlines. A filing submitted late or a procedural error can close your case before the merits are ever reviewed. At Sanchelima & Associates, P.A., we have handled trademark disputes since 1977.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the TTAB?

    It is the federal administrative tribunal within the USPTO that resolves trademark disputes: oppositions, cancellations, refusal appeals, and concurrent use cases. Its decisions are binding and directly affect your right to use and register your mark.

  • How long does a TTAB case take?

    Most cases take between 18 months and 3 years, depending on complexity and whether they reach oral argument.

  • Can I represent myself before the TTAB?

    It is possible, but proceedings have strict procedural rules. Missing a deadline can result in a default ruling against you without the merits of the case being evaluated.

  • What if I disagree with the TTAB's decision?

    You may appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit or file a civil action in federal district court. We advise you on the best path based on the outcome.
