What changed

Meta Platforms, Inc. successfully opposed the registration of the trademark MADE BY METAGENO (Application No. 91303219) filed by James Edward Sheridan. The TTAB sustained the opposition, ruling in favor of Meta Platforms. The decision was issued on April 3, 2026.

Trademark applicants and their counsel should review this decision to understand the grounds for opposition and ensure their applications meet all requirements to withstand potential oppositions from established brand owners. While this is a case-specific decision, it reinforces the need for thorough trademark clearance searches and differentiation from existing marks, particularly those owned by large technology companies.
