The TTAB issued a final decision sustaining Opposition No. TTAB91303361, finding that New York Yankees Partnership's opposition against Ningbo Wan Qing Ke Ji Co., Ltd's VANKEE trademark application should be upheld. The proceeding was filed on November 25, 2025, and concluded with the opposition being sustained, meaning the defendant's trademark registration will not proceed.

Ningbo Wan Qing Ke Ji Co., Ltd should cease all use of the VANKEE mark in connection with trademarked goods and services in the United States, as no registration will issue. If the defendant disagrees with the decision, they may file a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit within the statutory period. Trademark applicants facing adverse TTAB decisions should review their mark for likelihood of confusion with established marks before refiling.
