    RCN TELEVISION, S.A., Appellant, v. RCN TELECOM SERVICES, INC., Appellee.
    No. 2011-1112.
    United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.
    April 6, 2011.
    Before RADER, Chief Judge, NEWMAN and BRYSON, Circuit Judges.
   ON MOTION

ORDER

BRYSON, Circuit Judge.

RCN Telecom Services, LLC (RCN Telecom) moves to dismiss RCN Television, S.A. (RCN) Television’s appeal from the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) as premature and moves for sanctions. RCN Television moves for an extension of time to file its opposition, and opposes. RCN Telecom replies.

RCN Television appeals the TTAB’s August 26, 2010 decision that, inter alia, dismissed claims to cancel eighteen registered trademarks of RCN Telecom due to allegations of fraud. The Board has not disposed of the portion of RCN Television’s petition for cancellation that asserts fifteen of those trademarks should be canceled pursuant to Section 2(d) of the Lanham Act.

RCN Telecom contends that the August 26, 2010 decision is not a final, appealable decision pursuant to this court’s decision in Copelands’ Enter., Inc. v. CNV, Inc., 887 F.2d 1065 (Fed.Cir.1989) (en banc). We agree. In Copelands, this court held that it would review decisions of the TTAB only if the decision “put an end to the litigation before the Board.” 887 F.2d at 1068. Thus, a party dissatisfied with a TTAB determination “must await and raise all claims of error in a single appeal.” Id. Because RCN Television prematurely seeks to appeal from a TTAB decision that does not put an end to the litigation before the Board, we grant RCN Telecom’s motion. RCN Telecom may appeal these issues after the Board rules on all claims.

Accordingly,

It Is Ordered That:

(1) RCN Television’s motion for an extension of time is granted.

(2) RCN Telecom’s motion to dismiss is granted.

(3) RCN Telecom’s motion for sanctions is denied.

(4) Each side shall bear its own costs.
