What changed
Getaway Cabins, LLC filed a petition to cancel Marriott International's GETAWAY OUTPOSTS trademark registration on December 18, 2025. Marriott failed to timely respond, prompting the TTAB to issue this Notice of Default on March 31, 2026. The TTAB has now given Marriott an opportunity to show cause why default judgment should not be entered against it.\n\nMarriott International must file a response to this default notice within the timeframe specified by TTAB rules, typically 30 days, to avoid a default judgment that would result in cancellation of its GETAWAY OUTPOSTS trademark registration. The company should immediately retain trademark counsel to assess defense options, including filing a motion to set aside the default showing good cause, or alternatively, an answer to the underlying cancellation petition. Failure to respond will result in the TTAB cancelling the trademark registration.
What to do next
- File a response to the TTAB Notice of Default within the required timeframe to avoid default judgment
- Consult with trademark counsel to evaluate whether to contest the cancellation or seek settlement with Getaway Cabins
- Prepare an answer or motion to set aside the default if defending the trademark registration
