Medi USA wins MEDI VARIC TTAB opposition
Summary
The USPTO Trademark Trial and Appeal Board sustained Opposition No. 91303366 filed by Medi USA LP against French defendant Medi Varic Products S.A.S., blocking registration of the MEDI VARIC trademark in the United States. The opposition was filed on November 26, 2025, and the decision was issued on April 6, 2026.
What changed
Medi USA LP successfully opposed the registration of the MEDI VARIC trademark by Medi Varic Products S.A.S. before the TTAB. The Board sustained the opposition (BD DECISION: OPP SUSTAINED), meaning the French company's attempt to register its mark in the US was rejected. The case was filed as Opposition No. 91303366.
For companies seeking US trademark registrations, this decision underscores the importance of conducting thorough trademark clearance searches before filing. Medi Varic Products S.A.S. is now barred from obtaining US trademark protection for this mark. Other entities with international operations should ensure their trademark strategies include comprehensive US clearance to avoid similar opposition proceedings.
What to do next
- Review trademark portfolios for potential conflicts with existing US registrations
- Conduct US trademark clearance searches before filing applications for new marks
