Recall that on December 17th, I predicted that the USPTO would be introducing the new 99 series on January 18<sup>th</sup> with the implementation of the new fee schedule - that the change in series code would make it easier to recognize trademarks filed under

I was wrong. The first 99-series trademark has already appeared, namely <b>99407680</b>, the standard character mark

<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Having just used the new Beta application format for a few filings today, I think they should be paying us for this debacle of form. I\u2019ve
been using it for a couple of months with little to no problems \u2013 even though the format is ridiculous and hard to review. Today, two applications went through just fine. The third one \u2013 not so much. Twice it didn\u2019t capture all the information (the information
is on my \u201cpreview\u201d copy but not on the emailed copy), I tried again, and the copy emailed to me was completely blank, and don\u2019t get me started on the issues with the goods and services. Why does the USPTO like to change the order of the description? You make
a simple change, and it moves the phrase to the bottom of the list. This just makes it harder to review. If you need to make changes after you have emailed a draft to yourself, God be with you. Warning: there are things you cannot change after you have
emailed a draft \u2013 like a matter number. Why? Oh why? What a nightmare. Yes, I\u2019m frustrated.</span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">Well, checking the remaining unused serial numbers in the 98 series for new TEAS applications \u2026</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">The highest TEAS serial number for 12/16/24 is 98906253.</span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">Subtracting 98836906 from 98906253, for that 42-day period, new TEAS applications
<i>exhausted </i>a range of 69,347 consecutive serial numbers, an average of 1651 serial numbers per day.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">Since serial numbers 98975000 and above are reserved for divisional applications, only 68,746 serial numbers remain for new
TEAS applications in the 98 series before that series is exhausted and a new series will be needed. </span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">Dividing, 68,746 serial numbers ÷ 1651 serial numbers per day = 41 days. That is, the 98 series will be exhausted about 41
days after December 16th (around January 26th), assuming the rate of new TEAS applications for the last 7 weeks doesn't vary too much in the next 7 weeks. </span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">So, as the new 2025 trademark fees begin January 18th, just about a week before the 98 series is projected to be exhausted,
I'm guessing that TEAS will begin using a new series, presumably the 99 series, to make it easier to recognize TEAS applications filed under the new 2025 rules/fees (the 99's) versus the current rules/fees (the 98's). That's just my guess.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">Does this coincidence make you wonder if the projected end of the 98 series influenced the selection of Saturday, January 18th
as the starting date for the new 2025 trademark fees?</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">Also, recall that federal offices will be closed on Monday, January 20th for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. I vaguely
recall that something else is scheduled for that Monday. </span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">Then there's a bigger question, namely what series comes next after the 99-series is exhausted? But I'll be retired long before
that ...</span></p>
