NORD Trademark Cancellation Proceeding - Notice of Default

The TTAB issued a Notice of Default against OnePlus Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. in Cancellation No. TTAB92090693, finding the defendant failed to timely respond to the cancellation petition filed by IM RETAIL MANAGEMENT LTD regarding the NORD trademark. This procedural default allows the TTAB to proceed to final judgment, which could result in cancellation of the NORD trademark registration.

Trademark counsel representing brand owners should monitor this proceeding as an example of the consequences of failure to timely respond to TTAB proceedings. OnePlus Technology may seek to reopen the default within one month of the notice date, demonstrating good cause and a meritorious defense. Third parties with similar trademark interests should review their own TTAB deadlines to ensure timely responses to avoid similar default judgments.
