Advance Magazine Publishers Inc., doing business as Condé Nast, filed an opposition proceeding against Nationwide ClosEOUT Corp NYC's trademark application for 'CROWN VOGUE' with the TTAB. The opposition was docketed as TTAB91306329 and accepted as complete upon payment of the filing fee. The basis for opposition relates to Advance Magazine Publishers' existing trademark interests, likely arguing likelihood of confusion given Condé Nast's publishing and fashion industry presence.

No immediate action is required by third parties. Nationwide ClosEOUT Corp NYC will need to respond to the opposition through TTAB procedures if it wishes to proceed with its trademark application. The parties may engage in discovery and eventual Board determination of whether registration should be granted. Trademark applicants facing oppositions should consult trademark counsel to evaluate defenses and potential settlement options.
