I filed two renewals in March and still don’t have approval…meanwhile the grace period date was yesterday and the client is starting to freak out.  I’ve reached out, but so far nothing…

It’s very frustrating.

I have three or four cases where the status shows that an office action is being processed for mailing, with a status date of May or June 2024.  And no office actions have been mailed as of yet.

I have two like this -- prosecution history shows "APPROVED FOR PUB" on 25 October but no action since. Sent an inquiry to the TAC nine days ago. Crickets.

In addition to a batch of registrations that never issued, it appears a batch of marks approved for pub have not been published.  We had a mark approved by the examiner on 10/24.  After inquiry with the EA, I got the following response, in pertinent part, today:

Apparently, there was an internal process change that delayed the publication date (and that 98XXXXXX was one of many cases set to a delayed date).  I was told by one of our hard working data management specialists that this date has been reset and that it should be moving soon.

I’m sure Ken could come up with a search for marks with a status of “Review prior to publication completed” with no pub dates.

Perhaps the incoming USPTO Director and/or incoming Commissioner for Trademarks needs to take a good hard look at their operations, as these “glitches” seem to be happening with increased frequency.
