What changed
The TTAB entered a default judgment against Bill Vue in Nintendo of America Inc.'s trademark opposition proceeding. The defendant failed to respond to the Notice of Default within the required period, triggering entry of default under TTAB rules. The opposition challenges registration of the POKEPHYSIQUE mark on likelihood-of-confusion grounds with Nintendo's famous Pokémon family of marks.
Affected parties in pending trademark opposition proceedings should ensure timely responses to TTAB notices to avoid default. A default judgment forecloses the applicant's ability to defend the application on any ground and typically results in the opposition being sustained, blocking registration of the opposed mark entirely. Trademark applicants facing opposition should monitor TTAB deadlines closely and engage qualified trademark counsel to respond to any default notices.
