    <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

                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>
