    <p>As for point 2, I appreciate that as practitioners we naturally
      hope to figure out workarounds so that important tasks will not
      grind to a halt on January 18. <br>
    </p>
    <p>But I sure hope that we (and the Trademark Office) would not
      think of a workaround like this as anything other than a very
      temporary placeholder until a rather urgent bug fix gets carried
      out and tested by users and endorsed by users and only then
      crossed off the bug list.</p>
    <p>Imagine how this workaround could get less and less
      satisfactory.  A multiclass application, for example.  The client
      would be stuck having to receive the "click here" email, click on
      the link, open up the to-be-signed application on one computer
      screen, then receive a second email with a number of image
      attachments, and open up the image attachments on a second
      screen.  Then the client would need to click and scroll across two
      computer screens to try to match things up.  Depending on the
      number of classes, this might take a while it might sometimes be a
      challenge knowing how to match things up on the two computer
      screens.</p>
    <p>Not only that, but supposedly the Trademark Office thinks that
      more and more filers don't even use computers but just click
      around on their smart phones to carry out e-signing processes.  I
      cannot imagine how a person using a smart phone would be able to
      fulfill the requirements of this kind of workaround.</p>
    <p>When the USPTO was constructing its then-new Patent Center, and
      then announced that it was going to shut down the legacy systems
      (EFS-Web and PAIR), the patent practitioner community pointed to
      the bug list at <a
        href="https://patentcenter-tickets.oppedahl.com/"
        class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://patentcenter-tickets.oppedahl.com/</a>
      .     After a year there are still over two hundred bugs that the
      Patent Office has not fixed.  Things are so bad with the Patent
      Center system that users have, I think, sort of despaired at the
      question of whether the Patent Office will ever get it working
      right.  These days for example, the Patent Center system randomly
      logs users out in the middle of complex filing projects.</p>
    <p>The Patent Office people claim to be interested in hearing about
      what features the practitioner community would like to see
      implemented in Patent Center.  And we have duly compiled a list of
      over fifty feature requests ( <a
href="https://patentcenter-tickets.oppedahl.com/patentcenter-feature-requests/"
        class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://patentcenter-tickets.oppedahl.com/patentcenter-feature-requests/</a>
      ).  Many of these feature requests have been outstanding for over
      three years.  Now after well over three years, <i><b>not one
          feature request</b></i> has been implemented.</p>
    <p>At this point I wonder whether the trademark practitioner
      community might want to compile a bug list.  Unfortunately (and
      probably very deliberately, on the part of the Trademark Office)
      it is likely impossible to compile a thorough enough bug list soon
      enough (what with Thanksgiving holidays and the December holidays
      coming up) to have a meaningful chance of deflecting the Trademark
      Office from its stated plan of shutting down TEAS on January 18. <br>

              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

                  receive clients who get Office Actions associated with

                <p class="MsoNormal">As to why the USPTO has not taken
                  action against those  (latter) companies who are

                  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,

                  \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

                              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
