Zara Tours Adventures Opposition Dismissed

The TTAB issued a Board Decision dismissing Opposition No. TTAB91245732 without prejudice. Inditex, S.A. (owner of the Zara fashion brand) initiated the opposition in January 2019 to prevent registration of the conflicting mark ZARA TOURS ADVENTURES. The dismissal without prejudice indicates the opposition was terminated prior to a final determination on the merits, potentially allowing the applicant to proceed toward registration.

For trademark practitioners and brand owners, this decision represents a routine administrative termination of opposition proceedings. No immediate compliance actions are required. Parties who had oppositions dismissed may wish to evaluate whether alternative grounds exist for refiling or whether the decision signals vulnerability in their trademark enforcement strategy for similar marks. The defendant (Zara Tours Adventures LLC) may now proceed with the registration process for their travel/tourism services mark.
