A petition for cancellation is a legal request filed with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) to cancel a registered trademark on the grounds that it should not have been granted or is no longer valid. This process allows interested parties, typically those who believe they will be harmed by the continued existence of a trademark, to challenge the registration. It plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of the trademark register and ensuring that only valid trademarks remain protected.
