I have contacted the EA on my application in these circumstances and they can usually nudge the other dominos.

Subject: [E-trademarks] Requesting suspension check on third-party application

I have an application (A) that’s been suspended for years by a convoluted chain of prior applications: the cited application (B) is itself suspended based on Application C, which in turn is suspended pending an opposition against Application D (Applications C and D are co-owned). A final decision was (finally finally) just issued in the opposition, and I believe Application C is therefore in condition for removal from suspension.

My question is this: Is there anything I can do to nudge these dominoes to fall more quickly? Am I allowed to contact the examiner for Application C to alert them to termination of the opposition? Will it make any difference if I do?

Suspension Letter maintaining suspension on Application C was entered mere days before termination of the opposition, so I could be looking at 6 months minimum before the next suspension check. And, based on recent experience, I have no confidence that one or more of these applications won’t fall through the cracks and get stuck in USPTO limbo indefinitely.
