McDonald's v. Guangzhou Maihaku Nutrition - Trademark Opposition
Summary
The USPTO Trademark Trial and Appeal Board sustained Opposition No. 91302902, ruling in favor of McDonald's Corporation against Guangzhou Maihaku Nutrition Technology Co., Ltd. regarding the MCHOKUU trademark application. The opposition was filed on November 5, 2025, and decided on April 6, 2026, preventing registration of the contested mark.
What changed
McDonald's Corporation successfully opposed Guangzhou Maihaku Nutrition Technology Co., Ltd.'s trademark application for MCHOKUU before the TTAB. The Board sustained the opposition (OPP SUSTAINED), meaning McDonald's prevailed in demonstrating likelihood of confusion or other grounds for refusal. The case was decided under Opposition No. 91302902.
For companies filing trademark applications with the USPTO, this decision reinforces the need to conduct thorough clearance searches before filing and to avoid marks that may be confused with existing famous brands. Parties with pending applications should review for potential conflicts with well-known marks in similar classes.
