<div dir="ltr">I have noticed that when filing a voluntary amendment in a trademark application, usually within three months of the application filing, the TEAS form fails to include all of the information of the original application. In particular, Section 44(d) claims appear to be missing.<div><br></div><div>Of course, when I reported this issue to Teas at <a href="http://uspto.gov">uspto.gov</a>, their response pretty much ignored the issue:</div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Thank you for contacting the TEAS support mailbox regarding
voluntary amendment submission for newly filed applications. Our records
indicate we did receive the amendments September xx, 2023. Due to our office
experiencing a significant backlog in uploading new applications, your
applications are currently in queue for the Pre Examination Unit to complete
the upload and at that time they will also review your amendments. Please wait
4-6 weeks from the filing date for your record to be completely uploaded into
our database. </span></p></div><div><br></div><div>I have taken the protective step of including a miscellaneous statement to re-affirm the Section 44(d) claim and specifically state that the voluntary amendment is not intended to change any of that information from the original application.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards, <br>Michael<br></div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Michael Brown<br>Michael J Brown Law Office<div>354 Eisenhower Parkway</div><div>Plaza I, 2nd Floor, Suite 2025<div>Livingston, NJ 07039<br><br><div><a href="mailto:michaeljbrownlaw@gmail.com" target="_blank">michaeljbrownlaw@gmail.com</a></div><div><a href="http://www.mjbrownlaw.com" target="_blank">www.mjbrownlaw.com</a> <br>+1 973-577-6300 fax +1 973-577-6301<br></div><div>Google Voice +1 973-637-0358</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
