MAX & HELEN'S Trademark Opposition Suspended Pending Settlement

The TTAB granted a motion to suspend Opposition TTAB91297844 filed on March 25, 2025. M & E Brands, LLC (plaintiff) opposes registration of the MAX & HELEN'S trademark owned by M&H IP Holdings, LLC (defendant). The Board suspended proceedings to allow the parties to engage in settlement discussions, with both parties consenting to the suspension.

This is a procedural administrative action that does not affect any substantive trademark rights. The opposition remains pending but dormant. Parties involved in similar TTAB proceedings should note that suspension requests with mutual consent are routinely granted. No immediate action is required from trademark applicants or registrants not involved in this proceeding.
