<pre><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Hello fellow trademark practitioners. 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> . 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. And now maybe they are scrambling to create and cryptographically sign new ones with the signature of the new Acting Director.<o:p></o:p></span></pre>
