To modernize its systems and their customer service, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USTPO) inaugurated the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) Center Beta for filing notices of opposition, through which a party may challenge the registration of a trademark.
Although the final notice of opposition form is planned to have its official launch in spring 2025, customers will be able to use the form’s open beta period during the next six months to file notices of opposition using TTAB Center or the existing filing platform, the Electronic System for Trademark Trials and Appeals (ESTTA).
Yet, the USTPO’s goal is to eventually transform into having the TTAB Center as the central platform for parties doing business with the TTAB, replacing ESTTA.
