<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:green">Meanwhile, I have a different question about the new application form in TM Center Beta. My paralegal and I have been tentatively trying it out, and we did (or tried
to do) our first use-based application today. And when I received the link to review prior to sending to the client for e-signature, I was surprised that I was unable to view the specimen that had been uploaded. Am I missing something? My paralegal called
the Trademark Assistance Center and they confirmed that only the person who prepared the form (my paralegal) can see the specimen; anyone to whom she forwards the link cannot.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:green">So it appears that TM Center Beta is expecting applicants (whose applications are prepared by outside counsel) to sign something under the pains and penalties of
perjury, <i>without letting them see everything they are signing</i>. Again, am I missing something? What possible justification can there be for that?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As someone who works in the ethics space, I get this question about a lot of various companies. I\u2019ll address it as to \u201cLegalZoom,\u201d which is what you specifically asked. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">To the extent you are seeing filings from that company, my understanding is that they are in fact coming from a real law firm\u2014 LZ Legal Services. These applications are reviewed and filed by real lawyers. Therefore, they are permitted
to practice just like you and I would be.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the other hand, I also get asked about other online filing providers where the applicant never speaks to an attorney, and they are filed \u201cpro se.\u201d Many members of this listserv likely receive clients who get Office Actions associated
with those filings, and my understanding is those types of companies do not do Office Action responses, and don\u2019t otherwise have attorneys involved in the process.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As to why the USPTO has not taken action against those (latter) companies who are filing pro se marks\u2014my guess is as good as yours. However, one can surmise that they are busy focusing on solo practitioners who work with applicants from
China. For those of you that don\u2019t know, Brad Behar, outside counsel for Amazon, has been filing \u201canonymous\u201d grievances with the USPTO against almost twenty trademark lawyers. Contrary to what Amazon says, it appears that they do maintain a blacklist, and
do take action against those who complain about being put on the blacklist.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If I understand Pam\u2019s statement correctly, she was indicating that most applications are filed either by pro se filers OR by attorneys who aren\u2019t TM specialists. I\u2019d still be surprised if the percent of knowledgeable filers was as low
as Pam mentioned, but given the quality of the filings I\u2019ve seen in a lot of my searches, it wouldn\u2019t surprise me if more than 50% of filers are either pro se or lawyers who \u201cdabble\u201d in trademark law. If you add in the trademark mills, that percentage could
be substantially higher.<o:p></o:p></p>

filed by a trademark practitioner. Of course, under current rules ANY application (or maintenance document) filed on behalf of a non-U.S. owner, must be filed by a U.S. attorney. That alone would seem to raise the numbers. What are others seeing in terms

<p>I asked a trademark examining attorney one time what their estimate was on the number of applications they process that are from experienced trademark attorneys, rather than pro se or the passing lawyer who does applications as part of their general practice.
Their estimate was 15%. We are a very small part of the user base and they won't be optimizing for us.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0in">I\u2019m all for making the USPTO as accessible as possible. But making the trademark filing center mobile-friendly to the detriment of the majority of the user base doesn\u2019t seem like a particularly sensible approach. They
could, for example, have created an app for mobile users, or they could have created separate versions of the website for mobile devices and desktops. They could even have created two separate filing paths, one with more explicit steps and instructions (and
more screens) for pro se filers and another for regular filers that more closely resembles what we have in TEAS now.

<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0in">And I have to wonder what percent of filers fall into the category you describe. I don\u2019t imagine many people who live on less than $30K and have no internet access other than their phones are going to be willing or
able to pay $350 or more for a trademark application, and unlike the patent side of the PTO, there\u2019s no discount for small or micro entities for TM filings.
