The TTAB entered a default judgment cancelling the TRANSCEND CRUISES trademark registration (Proceeding No. 92090691) after defendant Transcend Cruises Inc. failed to timely answer the cancellation petition. The plaintiff, Transcendent Travel Services, LLC, initiated the proceeding alleging priority of use and likelihood of confusion with its own mark.

Trademark owners facing cancellation proceedings must ensure timely responses to avoid default judgments resulting in complete cancellation of their registrations. Counsel should review all pending TTAB matters to confirm all deadlines are calendared and responses are filed before the答辩截止日期. This proceeding demonstrates the binding consequences of failure to participate in TTAB proceedings.
