<p>The email that I quoted earlier today (from a high-up Trademark
Office prson) says that one way to report design flaws in TC is to
report them to <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:teas@uspto.gov">"teas@uspto.gov"</a>. So I plan to forward this design
flaw there, with a bcc to the high-up person.</p>

The new system does not display a negative response to the
questions about whether the mark has a translation or is the
name of an individual, but the applications cannot be filed
without these statements being made. I have received two office
actions in the past week from Examiners that may not now (or
care) that the system works that way and are requiring me to
provide that information again and pay a surcharge. </div>

Are the rest of you entering these statements as miscellaneous
statements or doing something else to avoid this issue? Has
anyone else gotten a lot of office actions like this?</div>
