[E-trademarks] trademark examining attorneys and Crowdstrike

[Richard Schafer]

According to the r/patentexaminer subreddit, patent examiners are having the same problems. A memo from POPA<http://www.popa.org/blog/update-outage-800-pm-72124/> yesterday said, "As of 4 p.m. ET today, more than 5,700 USPTO computers remain offline due to the faulty CrowdStrike code. "

In case you were not aware, many of the USPTO trademark examining corps got hit by the Crowdstrike/Microsoft meltdown last Friday and are waiting for the USPTO IT department to get them back online.  Not sure about the patent examining corps, but they could also be in the same fix.
