with too much explanatory material and pretty much only one section per screen. The biggest drawback that stopped me from using it was that there is no option to save the data one inputs and go back to it later or to have a paralegal draft the application
and share the draft with me. .<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p>Oh and by the way, maybe I missed it, but I do not recall having seen even a hint or suggestion of the Commissioner asking the membership of our listserv what, if anything, we think is broken in TEAS that needs to be fixed in this new TC, nor do I recall
having seen even a hint or suggestion of the Commissioner asking the membership of our listserv what new features, if any, we wished to see added in this new TC.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>See <a href="https://blog.oppedahl.com/commissioner-for-trademarks-responds-to-the-fifty-four-trademark-practitioners/" target="_blank">
https://blog.oppedahl.com/commissioner-for-trademarks-responds-to-the-fifty-four-trademark-practitioners/</a> in which Fifty-Four Trademark Practitioners wrote to Commissioner Gooder on August 7, 2021 asking for some improvements in TEAS, particularly in the
area of character-count limitations in various fields. In October of 2021, Commissioner Gooder promised that we would get all of our "asks" from that letter. When the beta version gets released, I am confident it will turn out that Commissioner Gooder will
have kept that promise.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p>Trademark Center is coming soon<br>
We’ve been working on Trademark Center, a new system designed to improve your filing experience. This summer, you’ll be able to use the beta version of Trademark Center to apply to register your trademark. <br>
<br>
You’ll have the option to apply to register your trademark in either Trademark Center or the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) for six months. The cost to file remains the same in both systems.

<p>Given the disasters of Patent Center and Assignment Center, I feel that I can predict with very high confidence that this new "Trademark Center" will likewise be a disaster.<u></u><u></u></p>
