TTAB decisions and opinions

The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board is the USPTO tribunal that decides oppositions, cancellations, concurrent-use cases and ex parte appeals — whether a mark should register or stay registered. Rightsy indexes 18,719 of its decisions, 1,265 of them precedential (the ones the Board cites as binding), each with its outcome, its grounds and, where the Board published it, the full opinion. Every decision links to the proceeding it decided and the marks at issue.
