My usual complaint for this theme: The SA - Status field of Trademark Search should either exactly match the status text displayed on TSDR or display the SA - Status field text so that there would be no need to guess which terms to use in a SA - Status field
search to retrieve other trademarks with that exact status. </div>

When TESS was created, only certain changes is status (primarily between live and dead trademarks) triggered the update of the trademark record on TESS to minimize the number of records updated nightly so that the updates could be completed in a limited amount
of time; consequently, a SA - Status field could NOT be included, as such a status could be out-of-date as various live status conditions changed over time. Apparently, Trademark Search updates significantly faster, allowing the SA - status field to be included,
though I'm still baffled that the SA field is not displayed to simplify exact match searches of all trademarks with a particular status. Conversely, some additional status conditions could be added to more accurately and uniquely describe the current status
of some trademarks. Then again, the huge backlog is likely a much higher priority at the current time. </div>
