Something fishy is going on at the USPTO regarding the approval of extensions filed with a revival. This is quite frustrating, because we are already coming up on the next sixth-month deadline to file either a statement of use or extension for several applications, and I cannot file either through TEAS until the previous extension is granted.<br><br>If you have clients that are nearly ready to prove use, it may be better to hold off and file the extension and SOU together with the revival rather than filing the revival immediately and waiting on specimens.
