How TTAB cases really end

Since 2016, plaintiffs have won 53,348 TTAB cases. 698 of those wins came after a trial.

Most ended by default, or because the defendant gave up. Count every sustained opposition as a win and you learn very little about how a real fight goes.

GleanMark reads each docket and labels the case by how it ended and how it got there. So when a client asks what a real fight looks like, you can study the 698 wins that came from cases fought to a decision: 518 after testimony and 180 on the briefs.

Oppositions sustained and cancellations granted in cases filed since January 1, 2016. Counts as of September 25, 2026.

How it works

From your client’s question to the Board’s own words.

  1. 01

    Find the cases that were really fought

    Filter oppositions and cancellations by how they ended, how they got there (a default, a withdrawal, an abandonment, or a decision on the briefs or after testimony) and how hard they were fought: answered, briefed, testimony, oral hearing, ACR. Each filter shows its live count before you click. No party name needed.

    By hand: Open dockets one at a time and read the last entries to learn how each case ended.

  2. 02

    Read each case at a glance

    Every result shows both parties and their marks, how the case ended, how far it went and how long it ran. The card’s label and edge say who won: the plaintiff, the defendant, or neither when the case fizzled.

    By hand: Tell a default from a trial decision by reading the docket entries yourself.

  3. 03

    See what each side argued, and what the Board held

    Search more than 940,000 passages from Board decisions and orders, briefs and answers, by your exact words or by meaning, the way you would ask a colleague. Every passage says who wrote it, so you can tell a party’s argument from the Board’s holding.

    By hand: Download the filings and read them to work out who said what.

When an opposition lands

Know what you are up against before you call the client.

Every opposition and cancellation has its own case page, straight from the USPTO record: how the case ended, how this plaintiff’s cases usually go, and each registration they are suing on. On an extension of time, before anything is pleaded, it shows the record of the party who filed it.

  • How often this plaintiff’s cases are answered, and how many reach a decision after trial.
  • Each pleaded registration’s status, §8 and §15 history, and claimed first-use dates.
  • How many other Board proceedings plead the same registration.
  • The full identification of goods and services, where a §18 restriction argument would start.

On Starter and above, “Analyze this proceeding” reads the filings and lays out each side’s claims, what they cite and where the case stands, so you can brief a client without reading the whole docket first.

When a mark you monitor is named in a new proceeding, the alert opens its case page.

Markus, on Board decisions

Ask what the Board held. Markus checks before it answers.

Research a Board question in plain English without trusting a guess. Before Markus states a Board holding, two AI models from different companies must both confirm it from the decision’s own text. When they can’t, Markus quotes the Board’s words and says it could not confirm the holding. These answers take longer, often 30 seconds to a minute, because the check runs first.

Markus also pulls up a party’s TTAB record, recent Board decisions or any case’s docket on request. 5 messages a month on Starter, unlimited on Professional and Max.

Why it matters

A win rate that counts defaults is not a win rate.

Monster Energy Company has brought 777 oppositions and cancellations since 2016 and won 462 of them. 320 of those wins were defaults, where the other side never appeared. 13 of its cases reached a decision on the merits.

A headline win rate lumps those together. TTAB Research keeps them apart, so you can tell a client facing one of its oppositions how often this opponent actually takes a case to a decision.

Questions attorneys ask

Oppositions and cancellations, filtered by case type, how the case ended, how it got there (a default, a withdrawal, an abandoned application or a decision after trial), how hard it was fought, whether the Board’s written opinion is on file or precedential, filing dates and party. 290,000+ cases are classified. There is no filter by legal ground yet: to find cases on an issue such as descriptiveness or fraud, search the passages for it.
