[E-trademarks] Question re Letter of Protest

[Anne Gundelfinger]

Hello Colleagues,

In a situation where one files a Letter of Protest that is forwarded to the
Examiner (as indicated in TSDR) very shortly after the Examiner approves an
application for publication but well before the application has been
published, what exactly happens and how fast? Presumably, if the Examiner
then chooses to issue an OA based on the grounds raised in the LOP, the
Examiner would pull the application back and issue the OA, right? And if
the Examiner does issue an OA, how quickly can one expect that to happen?
In the alternate scenario, if the Examiner decides no OA needs to be issued
and the application can proceed to publication, will anything reflecting
this decision show up in TSDR? Or will the application just proceed to
publication without any indication that the LOP was considered?

Many thanks for any wisdom you can share.
