NINJURA Opposition Sustained, SharkNinja Operating LLC Beats Shenzhen Youpinju
Summary
The USPTO Trademark Trial and Appeal Board sustained Opposition No. TTAB91303337, ruling in favor of SharkNinja Operating LLC against Shenzhen Youpinju Foreign Trade Co., LTD. The opposition to the NINJURA trademark registration was upheld, preventing the Chinese trading company from registering the contested mark. The decision reinforces the standards for likelihood of confusion analysis in trademark proceedings.
What changed
The TTAB issued a final decision sustaining Opposition No. TTAB91303337, with SharkNinja Operating LLC as plaintiff-petitioner and Shenzhen Youpinju Foreign Trade Co., LTD as defendant-registrant. The NINJURA trademark application was opposed based on likelihood of confusion with SharkNinja's existing marks. The case was filed on November 25, 2025, and decided on April 6, 2026.
Companies involved in trademark registration proceedings should ensure their marks do not create a likelihood of confusion with existing registered marks. Foreign companies seeking US trademark registration should conduct thorough clearance searches and be prepared to defend against oppositions from established brand owners. The decision is binding on the parties and may be appealed to the USPTO Director or federal court within the statutory period.
What to do next
- Review trademark portfolio for potential likelihood of confusion with recently registered marks
- Ensure international trademark applicants conduct comprehensive US trademark clearance before filing
- Consult trademark counsel if receiving TTAB opposition notices
