Insights: Publications Traveling in the Fast Lane — Accelerated Case Resolution for Trademark Disputes

ACC Docket, Volume 31, Number 10

Written by Joseph Petersen
For disputes handled by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), the Accelerated Case Resolution (ACR) procedure is a cost-saving option. With ACR, parties in dispute save time and money by streamlining both discovery and trial submissions. ACR is extremely flexible and generally much quicker than a traditional opposition or cancellation proceeding. This procedure is probably best suited for cases in which each side has only one or two witnesses, the record will not be extensive, and the parties can agree on stipulations.
