USPTO Trademark Trial and Appeal Board

The USPTO Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) is a part of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. It handles disputes related to trademarks, such as challenges to trademark registrations and appeals of refusal decisions. If someone believes a trademark shouldn't be registered or wants to oppose a registration, they can bring their case to the TTAB. The board makes impartial decisions based on trademark law, helping to resolve conflicts and ensure proper trademark use, protecting both business interests and consumer rights.
