Case: Trademarks/Cancellation (Fed. Cir.)

The Federal Circuit affirmed the decision of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board canceling Adaptrend Inc.'s “Tonosama” mark for gift baskets containing candy, in this cancellation proceeding by Narita Export LLC. According to the court, the board’s priority of use decision was supported by substantial evidence, and Adaptrend’s abandonment argument is deemed waived and is without merit.
