    <p>Exactly.  Thank you for posting.</p>
    <p>The way this looks to me is that the user of Trademark Center
      needs to have a crystal ball good enough to predict that the
      instant you click "submit", you will lose the ability to save
      drafts and make duplicates of drafts.</p>
    <p>Or the user learns the hard way about this user-unfriendly
      "feature" of TC, and after a few hard knocks, the user figures out
      that what the user must do is plan ahead and make (seemingly
      unneeded) extra duplicate copies of draft applications.  One for
      each client, or more than one for each client depending on various
      combinations of goods and services.</p>
    <p>Of course it would help if I were able to figure out how to use
      the "address book" feature of TC.  This feature, if only I could
      figure out how to use it, might be of some help when I need to set
      up a new application from scratch.  But so far I have not figured
      it out.<br>

        <div>Yes, this is basically what I've been doing, except I'm
          just leaving a draft in the Drafts tab permanently labeled
          "Client X Info" for each of my frequent filers. That way I
          have the info prefilled and ready to go when needed by making
