News Brief

USPTO announces new filing option available online for Trademark Trial and Appeal Board customers

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office announces an added option for Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) customers to file a petition for cancellation in our new system, TTAB Center. The new filing functionality will be available on May 12, 2025.

Currently, petitioners can file using either TTAB Center or the existing filing platform, the Electronic System for Trademark Trials and Appeals (ESTTA). Starting on July 12, 2025, users will no longer be able to file petitions for cancellation through ESTTA. A cancellation proceeding is a TTAB proceeding in which a party may seek to cancel an active trademark registration.  

We encourage users to provide feedback on their experience and suggest improvements on the TTAB Center webpage. The feedback will help us prepare for the official transition from ESTTA and continue to modernize our systems. 

The TTAB is continuing its transition to TTAB Center as the central platform for parties doing business with the TTAB, replacing ESTTA. TTAB Center offers more secure and resilient filing functionality, improved options for saving and sharing draft filings, and the ability to view all pending and completed TTAB filings in a centralized docket. Notices of opposition now may only be filed using TTAB Center.

Resources are available to support the transition to TTAB Center, including an informational webpage and FAQs. 

Customers may also call the TTAB with questions at 571-272-8500 or 800-786-9199 Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, or send an email to TTABInfo@uspto.gov.
