The comment <span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);"><i>8/23/2022, Ken Boone via E-trademarks</i></span> caught me off guard. Digging through my email archive, that
<span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);"><i>8/23/2022</i></span> list of older pending applications awaiting assignment to examining attorneys was generated via crude searches on TESS - that the new Trademark Search was not available for beta testing until about
a week later, plus it took several more months before I constructed the search</div>

This pending application looks like a USPTO <i>test</i> that should have been declared an
<b>informal application</b> but it still looks like a real application on the search system and TSDR with status
<b><i>New application awaiting assignment to an examining attorney</i></b> except the raw application is not available on TSDR and the search system does not display a drawing though TSDR does display a drawing. Does noise like this inspire confidence in USPTO
processing? Time for a cleanup on aisle <b>98305614</b>?</div>

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Some months ago I dropped an email to Commissioner Gooder, flagging this list of old applications that were stalled with no examiner. He wrote back to me that he would look into it and get back to me. I have
not heard back from Commissioner Gooder.</p>

<br>
No movement for my client -- who's application is blocked by one filed in 2021 and "not assigned to an Examiner."<br>
<br>
The applicant for the blocking application -- and, yes, it is based in China -- appears to have two other applications pending. One of those also has no Examiner, but the other was approved for publication.<br>
<br>
Some of you may know my view: there is something very wrong here. If there is a reason for an application being in permanent limbo, the reasons should be known and possible to address. But apart from investigating whether there is any method or basis for
suing the USPTO, I am out of ideas.<br>
<br>
My hope that a LoP would spur action was unjustified. The Trademark Office is fully aware of the situation -- the LoP people know, the Trademark Examiner in my client's application knows, the Assistance people know. It's just not doing anything. This did
not fall through a crack, it's being held.<br>
