What is the process to obtain a copy of a deposition in a TTAB proceeding?

To obtain a copy of a deposition in a TTAB (Trademark Trial and Appeal Board) proceeding, the appropriate process involves submitting a written request to the TTAB. This method aligns with the rules set forth for accessing documents associated with TTAB activities. A written request is a formalized way to ensure that the request is documented and processed according to the governing procedures.

Additionally, while the TTAB does maintain an online portal for various filings and information, simply requesting through that platform would not specifically address the need for obtaining a deposition. Similarly, contacting the opposing party for a copy may not be reliable, as they are not obligated to provide it, and the process isn't officially recognized. Filing a formal application with the TTAB is also unnecessary for this request, as the procedure in place allows for simpler written requests rather than a formal application process.
