<p>I have had the misfortune to be forced to make use of Trademark
Center for about twenty tasks since the shutdown of TEAS in
January.</p>
<p>For each of these tasks, I have lost money on the task. I
estimate that the developers of Trademark Center have cost me at
least five thousand dollars in lost income during this time.<br>

Last week and then on Monday, I had problems with filing
renewals and maintenance forms. When I tried to save
the form, the system erased all of the information I'd
input, and did NOT save the form. Had to start over
again. Then after hitting submit on the signature
request screen, I got the equivalent of the black screen
of death - the weird message we've all gotten (can't
remember the wording) and I couldn't get around it. At
least the form was saved at that point so that I could
open another browser (Firefox) and send the form to my
inbox for forwarding to the client. It's really a mess.</div>

<p>Yes exactly. I had this happen earlier today and
I failed to draw the connection that you had
reported this problem two days ago. Thankfully
alert colleague Mary Harris pointed out that you
had already reported this problem. Thank you to

<div>I am having a trouble with three of my
drafted applications. When I (or the client)
click on the link to review and sign the
application, the link goes to the correct page
and then immediately redirects to my trademark
center docket page. It is happening on
different computers with different browsers and
redrafting the applications did not solve the
problem. Has anyone else encountered this
problem?</div>
