From: E-trademarks &lt;e-trademarks-bounces@oppedahl-lists.com&gt; On Behalf Of Carl Oppedahl via E-trademarks<br>

Subject: [E-trademarks] no registration certificates today?<br>
<br>
Hello fellow trademark practitioners.&nbsp; See <a href="https://blog.oppedahl.com/yes-she-must-be-running-the-uspto-now/">
https://blog.oppedahl.com/yes-she-must-be-running-the-uspto-now/</a> .&nbsp; As far as I can see, somebody at the USPTO must have yanked all of the trademark registration certificates that were supposed to issue today, that bear Derrick Brent's signature.&nbsp; And now
 maybe they are scrambling to create and cryptographically sign new ones with the signature of the new Acting Director.<br>
<br>
Has anybody actually seen any registration certificate yet today?<br>
<br>
Carl<br>
