<p>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. <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>
