<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.</p>
<p>See

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.<br>

<p>Here is what popped up just now as I tried to prepare a new US
trademark application:</p>
<blockquote>
<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. <br>

<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.<br>
