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 submitted by Jordan Older for the mark “LOS ANGELES F.C.” under Serial No. 86335507. Even though MLS challenged the application, Jordan Older eventually opted to abandon 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 usual practice in trademark law, where larger organisations, such as Major League Soccer, attempt to defend their brand by opposing independent applications. Jordan Older, regardless of the opposition from MLS, was able to avoid a prolonged legal dispute by taking the step to abandon the application on his own terms, consequently avoiding potentially expensive and drawn-out litigation.

The opposition was overseen by Interlocutory Attorney Jennifer Krisp, with support staff support from Nicole M. Thier. Initially, a notice was issued, and trial dates were set, with an answer required from Older by April 25, 2018. However, the matter was quickly settled on April 5, 2018, when the case was terminated and terminated. The swift conclusion suggests that Jordan Older effectively navigated the complexities of the opposition process by voluntarily abandoning the mark, settling the case before any meaningful legal disputes developed.

This result shows Older’s capability to bring the matter to a conclusion efficiently, sidestepping what could have been an difficult legal battle from a major sports entity. His decision to willingly abandon the mark shows his tactical choice, enabling him to avoid the high costs and extended proceedings typical in trademark disputes. Although Major League Soccer’s opposition never here attained a formal resolution through the TTAB, this case demonstrates how smaller applicants can take careful legal decisions to avoid confrontations with large organisations without engaging in extended litigation.
