What changed
The TTAB issued a final decision denying Greenbriar Equity Group, L.P.'s petition to cancel the trademark registration for GREENBRIER CAPITAL CORPORATION owned by Greenbrier Capital Corporation. Cancellation proceeding TTAB92090502 was decided without prejudice, meaning the plaintiff may potentially refile the cancellation petition based on the same or different grounds in the future.
