The TTAB processed a routine extension request in trademark opposition proceeding No. 99261536. Pepperdine University filed a first 30-day request to extend the time to oppose D. Samson Industries' VWAVES trademark application for the mark 'VWAVES'. This grants Pepperdine additional time to file a Notice of Opposition. Trademark practitioners and applicants should note that opposers have multiple extension opportunities available under TTAB rules. The extension extends the opposition deadline but does not alter the substantive trademark opposition process.

No immediate action is required by the parties. D. Samson Industries should be aware that the opposition period has been extended and monitor for any subsequent Notice of Opposition filing. Trademark applicants facing potential oppositions should expect extension requests and plan accordingly. No penalties or deadlines beyond the extended opposition period are implicated by this filing.
