USPTO Introduces Enhanced Digital Filing System for Trademark Dispute Proceedings

Release Time：2025-05-23 11:47Author：Views：55

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has expanded digital service capabilities for Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) stakeholders through the launch of its next-generation filing portal, TTAB Center. Effective May 12, 2025, the platform now supports petitions for cancellation submissions - a legal mechanism allowing challengers to contest active trademark registrations.

Transition Timeline & Operational Updates

During the interim phase through July 11, 2025, petitioners retain dual submission options via either the legacy Electronic System for Trademark Trials and Appeals (ESTTA) or the modernized TTAB Center. Notably, ESTTA will sunset as a cancellation petition channel on July 12, 2025, requiring full migration to the new system.
