TTAB · 30 days from publication

Trademark Opposition. Stop registration at TTAB.

When a trademark application is published in the USPTO Official Gazette, anyone who would be damaged by registration has 30 days to file a Notice of Opposition with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB). Grounds: likelihood of confusion with your senior mark, descriptiveness, fraud, lack of bona fide use. We file the Notice and handle the proceeding.

How it works

How we handle Conservation Easement, end-to-end.

A conservation easement is a permanent restriction on the use of land, typically donated to a qualified land trust to preserve the land's natural or open-space character.

1

Eligibility review

Land must have conservation value: scenic, ecological, historic, open-space, or recreational. We assess whether your land qualifies. Most rural and undeveloped properties do; urban properties rarely.

2

Land trust selection

Donation must be to a qualified land trust (501(c)(3)). We refer to local and national land trusts (Land Trust Alliance, The Nature Conservancy, regional trusts). They accept the easement and hold the restriction in perpetuity.

3

Engineering + appraisal

Engineering work documents the conservation value. Qualified appraisal determines diminished land value (the deduction amount). IRS scrutinizes appraisals; we use highly credentialed appraisers with conservation easement experience.

4

Legal documentation + closing

Easement document recorded with county recorder. Permanent restriction runs with the land. Donor receives appraisal-supported deduction. Coordination with attorney specializing in conservation easements.

FAQ

About the Conservation Easement Service.

How do I know an application has been published?
USPTO publishes applications in the Official Gazette every Tuesday after the examining attorney approves. We monitor the Gazette for marks affecting your business. Trademark watch services flag automatically.
What if I miss the 30-day window?
You can request a 30-day extension to file (one-time, free). Beyond that, you would need to file a cancellation proceeding AFTER registration (cheaper but slower and you face statutory presumptions favoring the registrant).
Should I file opposition or just send a cease-and-desist?
Cease-and-desist is faster + cheaper. Opposition is the formal route if cease-and-desist fails. We often start with cease-and-desist and escalate to opposition if needed.
Can the applicant just abandon to avoid the cost?
Yes - and they often do. Many oppositions settle when the applicant agrees to abandon or amend. We negotiate consent agreements or coexistence terms.
What is a counterclaim?
Applicant may counterclaim to cancel YOUR registration as a defense (alleging your mark is invalid). Counterclaims dramatically increase cost + complexity.
Can I appeal a TTAB decision?
Yes. Appeals go to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) or to district court (for de novo review). Most TTAB decisions are not appealed.
