Prepared three incredibly complicated multi-class applications with various filing bases on December 16. Signature link I received said it could be signed anytime until February. Client signed yesterday, and only because I found this thread did I figure out the problem. Had to re-submit all g/s and specimens, which typically may not be that difficult but here was a real PITA. <div><br></div><div>I have nothing substantive to add, I just wanted to vent to folks who would understand my frustration. \U0001f624<br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfMessage"><div>

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
We have been using the Trademark Center\u2019s Beta
version to prepare and file trademark
applications. We have been using it for
roughly 4-5 months now and there have been minor
glitches but nothing like this.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Here\u2019s one that we are stumped on. We prepared
a trademark application. Sent to our client for
signature. Client has signed it. We received
the automatic prompt from the USPTO with the
hyperlink to Pay & Submit. However, the Pay
& Submit hyperlink is not working. We have
called the USPTO twice and they are
investigating it. I was wondering if any of you
have any ideas why the PAY & SUBMIT
hyperlink to complete the trademark filing is
not working. Client has properly signed the
application with the /s/ signature between
slashes. They have dated the application. They
have checked off all boxes in the Declaration.
Any ideas why the link might not be working?
USPTO is still investigating but I would really
like to get this application filed.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Thanks,</div>
<div>
Theresa</div>
