WILD GALILEO trademark cancelled, Gynex beats imed
Summary
The USPTO Trademark Trial and Appeal Board granted Cancellation No. TTAB92090000, cancelling the WILD GALILEO trademark registration owned by imed medical GmbH. Gynex Corporation filed the cancellation proceeding on November 5, 2025, and obtained a favorable decision on April 6, 2026. The defendant must cease use of the WILD GALILEO mark and may no longer assert trademark rights in that designation.
What changed
The TTAB granted Gynex Corporation's petition and cancelled Registration No. for WILD GALILEO owned by imed medical GmbH. This removes the defendant's federal trademark registration and eliminates their presumptive ownership rights to that designation. The defendant may no longer use the ® symbol with WILD GALILEO and loses the ability to invoke statutory trademark protections in infringement disputes.\n\nFor Gynex Corporation, the successful cancellation clears the way for potential competing use of similar marks in the medical/healthcare sector. For imed medical GmbH, the company must immediately discontinue use of the mark on goods and promotional materials, update any existing inventory labels, and cannot enforce trademark rights against infringing third parties using the same or confusingly similar marks. The cancellation does not preclude the parties from pursuing separate infringement litigation in federal court.
What to do next
- Cease use of the cancelled WILD GALILEO trademark immediately
- Update marketing materials and product labeling to remove the cancelled mark
- Monitor for any infringing use by third parties now that the mark is cancelled
