For Your Information – FYI:
04/16/2004:
"The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is processing paper Madrid filings within a week of receipt and electronic applications within hours. Information is generally viewable on the USPTO website within 24 hours of the completion of Trademark processing. In addition to the work done on Madrid filings at the USPTO, there is also processing at the International Bureau of WIPO. Thus, in certain circumstances pendency is influenced by any backlogs that might develop at WIPO."

~~~
Inquiry - 07/13/2004: (Control #72)
We continue to see long expired serial numbers come back under newly derived serial numbers but stripped of meaningful data, i.e. trademark, goods, owner etc.
Another example is original application 72383452, filed 2/10/1971 with registration number 929951. This record came in as serial number 81929951. Viewing the record on TARR, the record is virtually empty with the exception of assignment links.
08/13/2004:
This latest inquiry concerning old cancellations reappearing with an "8" was initially closed on 05/07/2004 as Control #44.
This inquiry continues to be investigated.
~~~
Inquiry - 07/13/2004: (Control #73)
In an effort to make the daily Trademark 24 Hour Box files for July 12, 2004 and July 13, 2004 available it was identified that paper submissions of 78 series amended full-page drawings appear in the daily Trademark 24 Hour Box. It had been previously documented that 76 series drawings were the only paper submission.
08/13/2004:
Beginning with the file dated August 12, 2004 the 78 series amended full-page drawings, submitted via paper, will be placed in the amended folder of the Trademark 24 Hour Box.
