Thank you, Carl, for your comments. Congratulations on your research ... and learning something new. Yes, I would agree that the USPTO has opened the door for less-than-ideal actions by their examining attorneys. Below, I recommend the fix for this application
and a few others that I considered <i>challenging</i>.</div>

that May 24th posting).</div>

<p>Okay here is my guess as to why Ken deems this application number 99181596 to be "challenging". Prompted by Ken, I looked up that case in TSDR. I then went to the application-as-filed to copy the mark as filed. </p>
<p>On a quick glance one might assume that this mark contains eleven characters, starting with "O" and ending with "T". But the alert reader eventually catches on that there are not eleven but twelve characters in this mark. Yes, after the "T" there is a
twelfth character. Maybe you can't see it, depending on what software you are using to view the drawing, but it is there.</p>
<p>I then pasted the mark into <a href="https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/ascii-to-hex.html" id="OWAf0dc6f77-405a-a560-6cda-dc47dcb4298b" class="OWAAutoLink" originalsrc="https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/ascii-to-hex.html" data-auth="NotApplicable" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">
a string-to-hex converter</a> and it revealed the hexadecimal values of the characters:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>4F 4D 4D 49 53 49 4D 51 49 53 54 200B</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This tells us that there are indeed twelve characters. We recognize "4F" as the hex value for "O" and we recognize "54" as the hex value for "T". And we then turn our gaze over to the character after "T" (the character after "54"). The hexadecimal value
is "200B". Clicking around on the Internet reveals this:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Unicode character U+200B represents a Zero Width Space (ZWSP). It is a non-printing character that does not take up any visible space on the rendered text. It's used in computer typesetting to indicate where word boundaries are, primarily for line breaking
purposes in scripts that don't use explicit spacing.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So yes, for this application number 99181596 we have a twelve-character mark of which on a quick glance there might only have been eleven characters. </p>
<p>Clearly what absolutely must not happen is the Trademark Office sort of looking the other way and pretending that the mark has only eleven characters. What must not happen is the case getting published for opposition, and then going to registration, with
only eleven characters appearing in the registration certificate. </p>
<p>There are many sad things here. A first sad thing is that clearly the Trademark Office people who coded the software in the Trademark Office systems failed to code it to flag this (presumably) nonstandard character for the Examining Attorney to pay attention
to. It would have been trivially easy to do (for example a regular expression could have detected it). But no, this trivially easy thing did not get done. There is no hint or suggestion anywhere in TSDR that anything at all has been done to flag this situation
for the Examining Attorney.</p>
<p>A second sad thing is that clearly the Trademark Office people who coded the software in the Trademark Office systems failed to code it to flag this (presumably) nonstandard character
<b><i>during the application process</i></b>. </p>
<p>As we sit here as third-party observers, of course we do not know whether the applicant actively wants twelve characters in this application (including the ZWSP) or whether, perhaps, it was an inadvertent mistake on the part of the applicant.</p>
<p>But the ideal time to smoke this out would have been <b><i>during the application process.
</i></b>Trademark Center ought to have flagged this to the filer. TC ought to have said something like "we have detected a character in your drawing that is not a standard character". And TC ought to have asked the filer to pick one path or another depending
on what the filer actually intended for the drawing.</p>
<p>Again it would have been trivially easy to detect this (again, for example a regular expression could have detected it). But no, this trivially easy thing did not get done in the coding of TC.</p>
<p class="elementToProof">I have of course loaded this application into IP Badger. The case was filed in May, so maybe it will get examined in around December. I will watch to see how the Examining Attorney handles this twelfth character in the drawing.</p>
<p>Having said all of this, I realize I may not have figured out why Ken calls this a "challenging" case. His reason for calling this a "challenging" case may be something else.</p>

It's another case of counting the letters in the wordmark. It looks like there are only 11 characters in the wordmark, but there are actually 12. The final letter is the Unicode character with decimal value 8203, the
<i>zero-width space (rendered: \u200b ; HTML entity: &ZeroWidthSpace; or &#8203; ), abbreviated ZWSP, is a non-printing character used in computerized typesetting to indicate where the word boundaries are, without actually displaying a visible space in the rendered
text</i>. The search <b>WD:( *\u200b* ) </b>with that <i>zero-width space</i> character between the two * wildcard operators retrieves only this OMMISIMQIST\u200b trademark. The similar search
<b>CM:( *\u200b* )</b> retrieves 6 live trademarks, including 2 registrations. Go figure.</div>

Pardon me for hijacking Pam's summary on yesterday's webinar, but I had some heartburn from her comment, "Ms. Cotton also talked about the fraudulent applications that aren't being processed, some from as far back as 2022." I'd say that's a bit of an understatement
of the current situation. By my checks, the <b>chaos goes back to 2020</b>.</div>

Recall that the search <b>SA:("new application in the record" AND "not assignment to examin" )</b> appears to identify all live trademark applications with the
<b><i>new application awaiting assignment to an examining attorney</i></b> status on TSDR. (Since the SA field of Trademark Search is not displayed, this is my best guess for that retrieving all trademarks with that status.) That search currently shows
<b>4,809 <i>new</i> applications with filing dates in calendar year 2021</b> and <b>
201 <i>new</i> applications with filing dates in calendar year 2020</b> have the <b>

On Monday, I did raise this concern in advance for the webinar. I've copied the email below. Mentioning my first name, they very briefly (a few seconds) addressed this concern just before the webinar concluded. They stated that they were aware of these older
applications (blah blah), but they haven't resolved these older applications yet due to the huge backlog (blah blah). Well, that's what I heard, but I didn't have closed captioning turned on to capture the text. (Alternatively, the USPTO might have created
a new <b><i>suspicion of fraud</i></b> status for these applications, but the backlog ...)</div>

Additionally, the search <b>SA:( "new application not assigned for examination" )
</b>appears to retrieve all live trademarks with the<b><i> new application assigned to an examining attorney for examination</i></b> status on TSDR. (It would be nice if the SA field on Trademark Search was displayed so that guessing the appropriate search
terms would not be necessary. Further, the SA field could use the exact same status text as TSDR.) That<b><i> new application assigned to an examining attorney for examination</i></b> status usually doesn't last too long, as that status changes as soon as
the EA acts on the application. The table below summarizes the trademarks with that status for March 24th and today. (I'm thinking most of these applications for calendar years prior to 2024 are stagnant but frankly have lost interest in performing any further
analyses. I recall earlier comments on this discussion group that these older applications are not evident on the EA dockets, that EAs don't even know that they're assigned these applications.)</div>

I attended a USPTO Hour this morning where fraudulent applications were discussed. Amy Cotton was abundantly clear that the fraudulent application should not be pursued, even though the applicant was innocently duped, and that the only thing that should be
done is file a new application. I'm not familiar with the possibility of restoring or reassigning an application number to a different application, but based on what was said you're not going to get much sympathy.</div>

Ms. Cotton also talked about the fraudulent applications that aren't being processed, some from as far back as 2022. They are aware that these are causing hardship on other applicants because they are holding up later-filed applications. They had hoped to dispose
of them by now, but had to other fires to put out:</div>

They are working on automating the identification and processing of fraudulent applications. At the moment it is done manually. I have mixed feelings about this, mostly based on how it is implemented. I have long thought that the PTO didn't appear to be taking
advantage of the machine data they have available for the identification of fraudulent applications, so I am optimistic that algorithmic identification could be more reliable than the current practices. However, I do worry that if a valid application is caught
up (say you were on vacation in China and signed a few applications in rapid succession), your applications may get stuck in purgatory, or the algorithm is going to be less discerning than the manual process now used.</div>

A new client of mine filed an application through a third party freelance service. The freelancer they connected her with filed two trademark applications under the name of an attorney not affiliated with them. The USPTO found out the attorney of record had
nothing to do with the filing and so issued a notice of incomplete trademark application and cancelled the application serial number. The remedy was to refile the application correctly and then file a petition to restore the serial number which was simply
denied. Can anyone with any experience with this type of petition provide any guidance on how to approach the USPTO and whether proving she was scammed is reason to restore the original serial number? </div>
