ttab_searchSearches USPTO Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) proceedings — trademark oppositions, cancellation petitions, extensions of time to oppose, and ex parte appeals — by party name, mark text, correspondent law firm, or application/registration number. Answers "is anyone opposing this trademark", "who has petitioned to cancel this registration", "which brands does this company fight", "what TTAB disputes involve this mark". Each result carries the board proceeding number, proceeding type (opposition, cancellation, extension of time, ex parte appeal), filing date, and both sides — defendant and plaintiff, each with their marks and serial/registration numbers.

Answers "what happened in TTAB proceeding 91308065", "is this opposition still pending", "what is the answer deadline", "which marks were pleaded". Sourced live from USPTO TTABVUE.ttab_party_historyProfiles one company or person across USPTO TTAB proceedings: how many times they appear as plaintiff (the one opposing or petitioning to cancel) versus defendant (the one being opposed), a breakdown by proceeding type, every name spelling they have been filed under, and the proceedings themselves.
