What Makes TTAB Cancellation Proceedings Different from District Court Litigation?
Cancellation proceedings before the TTAB are inter partes proceedings governed by the Trademark Rules of Practice and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to the extent adopted by the Board. Unlike district court litigation, the TTAB can only cancel or refuse registration — it cannot award damages or injunctive relief. Petitions must establish standing by pleading a real interest in the proceeding and a reasonable belief of damage, then plead specific grounds for cancellation under Section 14 of the Lanham Act. Poorly pleaded petitions waste filing fees and delay protection of the petitioner's rights.
