their review on the trademark on 12/29, the day before my

this trademark. I suspect some hiccup in USPTO's initial

Today, that search retrieves 20 trademarks. If you perform
that search, I expect many of the trademarks retrieved will
look familiar from some of my earlier postings. Previously, on
TESS, I used the [DM] - Decimal Mark search field to check for
unexpected characters in standard character mark, but the
Trademark Search folks ignored my suggestion to duplicate the
Decimal Mark search field on Trademark Search. </div>
