In a recent development in trademark disputes, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) ruled in favor of Sage Therapeutics Inc., a biopharmaceutical firm. The company had raised objections against a psychological service provider’s attempt to register “SageForth” as a trademark. The TTAB agreed with Sage Therapeutics, stating that the “SageForth” name has the potential to cause confusion in relation to Sage Therapeutics’ treatments for postpartum depression.
Trademark disputes often center around how similar a proposed trademark is to existing registered trademarks and whether it can cause confusion in the minds of consumers. It appears this was a key consideration in the decision by the TTAB in favor of Sage Therapeutics.
