[E-trademarks] Trademark Center pro se?

[Carl Oppedahl]

A few days ago, for the very first time, I clicked around in Trademark 
Center.  This was in a shared desktop situation where I was helping 
somebody click around in it.  The person has a plan of filing /pro se/ a 
few days from now.  So our goal was to click around in Trademark Center 
together and see what the workflow is like.

I happened to be already logged in to MyUSPTO at the time.  And I 
clicked around to commence use of Trademark Center.   I was sharing my 
screen with the would-be future /pro se/ filer.

What jumped out at me was, it absolutely refused to allow the session to 
move forward /pro se/.  It demanded that an attorney be identified for 
the to-be-filed application.

Maybe others have more experience with Trademark Center.  Is there a way 
to use Trademark Center /pro se/?

Is it simply that I had already been logged in at MyUSPTO?  That was 
what made it impossible to proceed /pro se/?
