Ensuring ATP marks are properly protected where tournaments are hosted, publicized, and broadcasted

Finnegan handles ATP’s worldwide trademark portfolio and ensures that its marks and logos are properly protected in the various jurisdictions where its tournaments are hosted, publicized, and broadcasted. We also handle ATP’s worldwide enforcement efforts and have opposed trademark applications and uses of ATP-formative marks around the world. Recently, we filed a U.S. opposition before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) against an application for the mark ATPI for entertainment and travel services (including those related to sports). We have also handled “ambush advertising” issues for ATP, including during the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London.
