<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Just bouncing on to this thread to say that I (accidentally) tried the beta system today. The save draft at the bottom of the screen as you go through the application is actually nice, as well as the ability
to import your contact information from MYUSPTO. The frustrating parts I see so far is that there seems to be only one Address line, so the firm name and the address have to on the same line, and also if you make a typo in the first use date as I did, you
apparently have to exit out and go back to the draft before you can fix it. Other than that, I agree with everyone who said that this is clearly set up for non-represented applicants and there is too much noise for experienced filers, but there are certainly
a few benefits such as importing the address that it would be nice to see added into the legacy system.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Just tried out the new beta system. As a paralegal, it is atrocious in my opinion. First of all, it does appear to cater to novice filers which is totally counter to the requirement that all applications be
handled by US attorneys. IT requires you to manually go through multiple screens and opt out of extra statements instead of just allowing you to opt in to extra stuff if you might need (translations, geographic significance, disclaimers, etc). It is not easy
to tab through and add prefilled information from your browser's memory like it does currently. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">In the attorney's section if you try to import the data of the account to save some labor and you are a paralegal, it will fill in the paralegal's information so that feature is basically useless for anybody
other than attorneys preparing trademark applications. I don't see that you can copy drafts and replicate for a new filing like you can in the assignment center so there does not appear to be ways to set up templates to avoid having to fill in repetitive information. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The worst part in my opinion is the section where you select TEAS PLUS ID of goods/services it basically has the options in a tiny scrolling screen with 10 or so options and makes you click next to find your
selection instead of being to browse a large selection of options and click checkboxes for the applicable ones.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Any USPTO lurkers here, please do not force us to use Beta. The current TEAS system layout and functionality is far superior to this system. There are a few things that would actually improve our experience
such as being able to set up templates for frequent clients and have it auto-fill in the attorney information and all of these things I think could be implemented easily without having to revamp the entire platform. None of these improvements were included,
and the functionality is vastly worse. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0E2841">That is correct, at least how we tested it. They did have our attorney and law firm information saved for easy reproduction in a new application and I thought they
might be permitting templates to be set up but I didn’t experience that with the beta test.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0E2841">Actually, when I first got into the beta test, the form was limited to just preparing an ITU TEAS+ equivalent (needing to use ID Manual IDs). They expanded the
application options later on to include 1a and Section 44 applications but, like Miriam, I was already frustrated with the slowness of the application, needing to read through a lot of explanatory material, combined with the inability to save and retrieve
a draft application so I never tested the more capable forms. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0E2841"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0E2841">I did a 1:1 telephone focus group call with the later version of the form and that allowed the explanatory material to be hidden but the form was still spread out
across a lot of screens. The print was very large too so I guess it could be targeted to more senior people. I’m not recalling other aspects of the process that stood out to me.

<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.<o:p></o:p></p>

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.<o:p></o:p></p>

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>

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.
