<div dir="ltr">After receiving another post reg OA on the attorney check box issue, and going through all of my post reg filing receipts for the current year, I sent the following to <a href="mailto:teas@uspto.gov">teas@uspto.gov</a>:<div>----</div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">TEAS team,</p>

Sections 8&9 Renewal, Sections 8&15 Declarations, Sections 71&15
Declarations and Section 71 Declarations are failing to record the check box

box, yet this information is omitted from the actual submission. The failure to
record the provided information is resulting in unnecessary work on the part of
the post registration division, who has to issue Office Actions for that
requirement, and attorneys who then have to respond.</p>
