<p>Hundreds of US trademark registrations are on a path to
cancellation.</p>
<p>See
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=6723159&caseType=US_REGISTRATION_NO&searchType=statusSearch">https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=6723159&caseType=US_REGISTRATION_NO&searchType=statusSearch</a>
as one randomly selected example of many hundreds of such
registrations. Nearly all of these registrations are for a mark
with 6-9 characters (and no spaces) that cannot be easily
pronounced, and are from applicants in China.</p>
<p>Quoting from yesterday's order:</p>
<blockquote>In the Order, the USPTO determined that it is
appropriate to exercise its inherent authority to reconsider the
registration decision for this registration. This determination
was made after the USPTO issued a Show Cause Order that provided
the registrant and the parties responsible for making improper
submissions in the registration an opportunity to submit a
response. Upon consideration of any responses received by the end
of the response period, the USPTO issued the Order Reconsidering
Registration Decision, which reconsidered and vacated its prior
decision, and reopened the underlying proceeding for a new
determination. The reopened proceeding may be subject to
administrative sanctions, including the sanction of termination.</blockquote>
