[E-trademarks] Relation Back

[Marc Randazza]

Grounds on which cancellation action may be brought under 15 USCS § 1064
are limited for registration that has been in existence for five years.

Plaintiff files infringement and cancellation action within the five year
period in district court.

District court dismisses claim with leave to amend.

Five year period has run.

Can Plaintiff file *just *the cancellation proceeding at the TTAB?  It is
outside the 5 year period, but would the district court action be a proper
event to relate back to, or does the TTAB start the clock ticking today?
