If an abandoned, unused, or wrongly granted registration is sitting in the way of your own mark, waiting won't clear it. World Trademarks Counsel files cancellation petitions that remove marks no longer entitled to protection, so the register reflects who's actually using the name in commerce.
File My CancellationGetting hit with a cancellation petition doesn't mean the registration is lost. Plenty of petitions rest on weak grounds or outdated information about your use of the mark. World Trademarks Counsel builds the defense that keeps your registration standing.
Defend My Registration
Abandonment, likelihood of confusion, fraud on the USPTO, and genericness each require different evidence and a different argument. We build your case around the actual grounds involved instead of a generic template, so the strategy fits the registration you're challenging or defending.
Build My CaseCancellation proceedings run like federal litigation, with discovery, depositions, and briefing. Our trademark litigators have handled that process directly with the Board, so your case is built by people who know what actually persuades it.
File My CancellationYou know your cost for filing or defending a cancellation before the case starts, not after discovery has already run up the bill.

Winning or losing a cancellation proceeding changes the register, but it doesn't end the work of protecting your brand. World Trademarks Counsel stays involved after the decision, so the outcome actually holds up over time.
If you successfully cancel a blocking registration, we help you move forward with your own application now that the conflict is cleared.
If either side has grounds to appeal the Board's decision to federal court, we walk you through whether that route makes sense for your case.
Many cancellation disputes resolve through a coexistence agreement or a negotiated withdrawal before a final decision, and we handle those talks on your behalf.
Once the case is resolved, we keep watching for similar marks that might raise the same conflict again under a different name.
Someone else could file your name tomorrow. Don't leave it to chance, secure your trademark today with World Trademarks Counsel.
