<p>The Answer by the defendant would have been due on November 14
(yesterday). What the defendant did instead is a unilateral
abandonment of the "Polly Darton" application. Barring some
surprise, what will happen next is entry by the Board of judgment

<p>It will be recalled that in the Notice of Opposition, the
plaintiff (Dolly Parton) cited no fewer than <i><b>eleven prior
filings</b></i> in the Trademark Office. I continue to be
baffled that the Examining Attorney snoozed through this case ( <a
href="https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=98403306&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=documentSearch">TSDR</a>
), and that the nameless person who carried out "final review
prior to publication" on about June 29 likewise snoozed through
this case.</p>
