<blockquote>
<p><b>Change in initial time set to file an answer in a trial case before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB)</b></p>
<p>The TTAB is changing the initial time set to file an answer in its trial cases from 40 days to 60 days. Trial cases before the TTAB include oppositions and petitions to cancel.
</p>
<p>This change is effective for TTAB institution orders issued on and after September 4, 2025. TTAB institution orders notify the parties of the commencement of a trial case.</p>
<p><b>Background</b></p>
<p>When a trial case commences, the TTAB issues a notification to the parties instituting the proceeding. The order sets out the trial schedule, including the time to file an answer. Traditionally, the TTAB set the initial time to answer as 40 days.</p>
<p>The United States is a member of the Madrid Protocol, an international treaty set up to simplify the international trademark registration process. Madrid Regulation Rule 17(2)(vii) requires a minimum 60 days response period for responding to an opposition.</p>
<p>Accordingly, the TTAB is changing the time to file an answer from 40 days to 60 days for consistency of expectations and docket management.</p>
