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

Wed Apr 10 09:30:47 EDT 2024

I’m watching a third party mark in the same limbo at the prepublication stage.  At least yours had already been published so the client had some surety that the mark would register.

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.
