[E-trademarks] "ON HOLD - ELECTRONIC RECORD REVIEW REQUIRED" redux

[Kevin Grierson]

As some may recall, I had SOUs accepted for ITU apps back in February, only to see “ON HOLD - ELECTRONIC RECORD REVIEW REQUIRED” pop up in the prosecution history, and then—crickets.  After two months of nothing happening, I called the Trademark Assistance Center, and they told me I needed to contact the examiner.  So, I called and emailed last week.  Never got a response from the examiner, but this morning, I got a SECOND “Notice of Acceptance of Statement of Use” for each of the applications.

I still don’t know what “ON HOLD - ELECTRONIC RECORD REVIEW REQUIRED” means, or why these applications disappeared into a black hole for almost two months, or why it was necessary to email a second notice of acceptance of the statement of use for each.  I can only hope the process won’t repeat itself.

If there are any lurkers from the PTO around, I would really like to understand why these two applications were approved for registration and then held up like this.  I had never seen this message in the Prosecution History dropdown before and no one has been able to explain what it means.
