<div dir="ltr">Is there any way to cancel a trademark registration for likelihood of confusion when it's within its 1 year Section 15 window but they haven't yet filed the declaration?
<br>
<br>
I know if we file the Cancellation, then pursuant to TMEP 1605.4, they cannot file the 15 affidavit since there is a pending proceeding. However, it looks like under 1064, asserting LOC is not allowed after 5 years, regardless of whether they've actually filed
the declaration of incontestability. <br>
<br>
I just want to make sure I am reading this correctly. You cannot file and win a cancellation proceeding with the TTAB citing likelihood of confusion for a registration that is over 5 years old, even if they haven't filed their declaration of incontestability,
right?
