This morning the Federal Circuit released one precedential opinion, one nonprecedential opinion, and one nonprecedential order. The precedential opinion affirms a judgment of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The nonprecedential opinion affirms a judgment of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. The nonprecedential order dismisses an appeal. Here are the introductions to the opinions and a link to the order.
Luca McDermott Catena Gift Trust v. Fructuoso-Hobbs SL (Precedential)
Luca McDermott Catena Gift Trust (“Appellant”) appeals from a consolidated decision of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (“the Board”) dismissing its petitions to cancel the registered marks ALVAREDOS-HOBBS and HILLICK AND HOBBS. Luca McDermott Catena Gift Trust v. Fructuoso-Hobbs SL, Nos. 92079918, 92079919 (T.T.A.B. Nov. 17, 2022), J.A. 1–11 (“Decision”). Because the Board correctly concluded that Appellant lacks a statutory right to seek cancellation of those marks under 15 U.S.C. § 1064, we affirm.
