Federal Circuit Upholds TTAB’s Denial of “Formularyhub” Trademark for Lack of Distinctiveness

The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has upheld the decision of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) to deny the registration of “Formularyhub” as a trademark. The healthcare management company’s request was rejected on the grounds that the term is merely descriptive. The ruling provides a significant reminder of the limits on trademark registration when it comes to descriptive terms that lack distinctiveness.
