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.
08/20/2004:
The USPTO is conducting a clean-up project that touches upon these old "8 plus the registration number" format serial numbers. They are all dead records of no consequence.
~~~
Inquiry - 08/16/2004: (Control #79)
The following serial numbers have requested extension of protection outside the US through the Madrid Protocol. All of the records have the following notation in the MADRID PROTOCOL INFORMATION section of the TARR record: "Certification Rejected By MPU" and "Application For IR Rejected By MPU". However, according to Madrid Express, all of the records have received international registration numbers. How did the application reach WIPO if they were rejected at the USPTO?

The trademark owners then re-filed for Requests for International Registration (presumably correcting their errors) and this second attempt to file was successful. Therefore, Madrid Express will indicate the records received International Registration Numbers (which they do), and the USPTO TARR records will indicate two US Reference Numbers, and will display two Madrid history entries indicating two attempts to file for an International Registration, one denied, and one accepted. This is what TARR shows in all cases listed.
