The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (“Board”) found that Bose Corporation (“Bose”) committed fraud on the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) in renewing Registration No. 1,633,789 for the trademark WAVE. Bose Corp. v. Hexawave, Inc., 88 USPQ2d 1332, 1338 (T.T.A.B. 2007). Bose appeals the Board’s order cancelling the registration in its entirety. Because there is no substantial evidence that Bose intended to deceive the PTO in the renewal process, we reverse and remand.
