HUGO BOSS AG opposes TOBOSS trademark
Summary
HUGO BOSS AG has filed a trademark opposition (Proceeding No. TTAB91306221) at the USPTO Trademark Trial and Appeal Board against Application No. 91306221 for the TOBOSS mark, owned by applicant Wenfeng Zhong. The opposition centers on likelihood of confusion with HUGO BOSS's existing trademarks.
What changed
HUGO BOSS AG filed Opposition No. TTAB91306221 on March 30, 2026, challenging the USPTO trademark application for TOBOSS filed by Wenfeng Zhong. The opposer alleges the mark is likely to cause confusion with established HUGO BOSS trademarks, which are well-known in the fashion and apparel industry. The TTAB docket number is 91306221.
Wenfeng Zhong, as defendant-applicant, must respond to the Notice of Opposition within the deadlines established by TTAB rules to avoid default judgment. If the opposition succeeds, the TOBOSS mark will not proceed to registration. HUGO BOSS AG should monitor the proceeding and file any additional evidence of prior rights. Neither party should treat this as a routine administrative matter given the potential brand protection implications.
What to do next
- File a response to the Notice of Opposition within TTAB deadlines to avoid default
- Prepare likelihood of confusion arguments addressing HUGO BOSS's established fashion trademarks
- Monitor proceeding for any discovery requests or motion deadlines
