I suspect at least part of the problem is that the USPTO may not have not created new status codes for records under investigation for possible suspension (which is why I included correspondence addresses for 15 oldest trademarks that I listed yesterday).
Unfortunately since Trademark Search does not include correspondence addresses, tracking

any changes in status for those serial numbers. I did download several hundred of the OW:usa hits yesterday, but I'm not too anxious to try to detect any status changes for those downloaded records. (None of the 50 oldest hits for my search were updated

<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;">One wonders how it can be that the Trademark Office clearly does not do such "boundary condition checking" itself.
Anybody who administers any system that tracks tasks or production would normally incorporate a variety of boundary condition checks into the routine workflow. </span></p>

<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;">This includes things like cross-checking to see whether characters are rendered legibly in one part of the system
but are rendered unintelligibly in some other part of the system. This includes things like identifying entries in the database that have had no changes to the entry in more than X number of weeks or months. In a system where there are easy-to-see starting
points and end points for tasks, here for example the filing date and the registration date, there are simple and easy-to-do reports that could be generated to try to identify cases that deviate widely from the normal life span of the tasks.</span></p>
