[E-trademarks] SOU processing time

Fri Apr 4 19:59:11 UTC 2025
My SOU processing times have been all over the board this last year...anywhere from 2-8 months. In one case, no Notice of Acceptance of SOU was issued. Instead, a Certificate of Registration was issued about 2 weeks after we filed the SOU. It seems as though all standard practices have been abandoned.
Kind regards,
Diane L. Gardner

Hello ? What are folks seeing as average processing times for a statement of use? The ?wait times? part of the USPTO site says the average is 57 days, but we have one that?s been pending for over 100. I feel like I?ve definitely seen longer but client is asking so was curious.
Thanks,
Tom

But I had one that had been ?stuck? since May. I reached out to the Examining Attorney and he got it ?unstuck.? He emailed me last week to say he was reviewing it, but I still haven?t gotten anything.

Honestly I don't know why I bother to look at the PTO's processing wait times web page anymore, or why the PTO bothers to leave it up if they won't keep it up to date.
Case in point, yesterday I was told in an e-mail from the TAC that they Post-Reg is currently reviewing section 8's filed August 14, 2024. That's 220-something days ago, which is more than double the 112 days that the Office is quoting.

Hello - What are folks seeing as average processing times for a statement of use? The "wait times" part of the USPTO site says the average is 57 days, but we have one that's been pending for over 100. I feel like I've definitely seen longer but client is asking so was curious.
Thanks,
Tom

We are currently examining new applications submitted between:
September 03, 2024 - September 17, 2024
The USPTO remains reluctant to address the older new applications with the UNKNOWN mark drawing code. Of the 704 older trademarks retrieved by the first two QC searches with the UNKNOWN mark drawing code, 697 (or 99.0%) still have the new application awaiting assignment to an examining attorney status on TSDR. Coincidence?

Registered. There is a 6 in the drawing and
description of mark.
Following are the 7 new trademarks for the 11th search, all with ? (superscript 2) in the wordmark. By the 1/24/25 filing date, these Q? trademarks likely will not be assigned for examination for several months. (Ooops! See the 2nd PS below and add 79405846 - CL? DE PEAU BEAUT? BLOOMING OASIS CONDITIONER to the list as an 8th new trademark for the 11th QC search.)

PS - Apparently, the USPTO began to rebuild the Trademark Search database around February 4th; that is, the session summary below indicates the earliest update date occurring on Trademark Search is 4 February 2025. As I recall, the previous version of the search database was created around 12 November 2023. They probably transitioned smoothly to the new search database sometime in early March.

Why would anyone care? Well, I tried to find all pending trademarks that had no updates for over a year. My search was LD:true NOT (RN:* SN:89* UD:[20240401 TO *]) which failed to retrieve any trademarks, so I tried UD:[* TO 20240331] AND LD:true NOT (RN:* SN:89*)which also failed to retrieve any trademarks, prompting the searches for the earliest update date occurring on TM Search.
PS2 - Another curiosity is 79405846, the mark cl? de peau BEAUT? BLOOMING OASIS CONDITIONER in standard characters, except USPTO initial processing revised the literal element to CL? DE PEAU BEAUT? BLOOMING OASIS CONDITIONER, where the character ? is not equivalent to the standard question mark on Trademark Search, so this application evaded my questionable word mark search strategy. (No, ? is not evident on the USPTO Standard Character Set.) The good news: the search CM:*?* only retrieves this application. Same for the CM:*?* OW:*?* GS:*?* DE:*?* OD:*?* search, so the two occurrences of ? in this wordmark entry may be only two occurrences in the entire search database. Ooops! I forgot to add ? to the 11th QC search of unexpected characters occurring in standard character marks, so 79405846 is a 26th trademark with invalid characters in the wordmark, joining the Q? trademarks that I listed above.

Subject: Quality Control Checks Using Trademark Search
Since my 4 March report, the USPTO now states that we are currently examining new applications submitted between: August 15, 2024 - August 29, 2024, so I did revise the end date of time-dependent searches from 28 July 2024 to 14 August 2024, and I updated the last Madrid application from 79401095 (received on July 25th) to 79402133 (received on August 8th).
For search #6, the problem with the LR (Live Registration) search field has been resolved.
I've added search #13 that identifies 29,699 live trademarks received before August 15th that have the new application awaiting assignment to an examining attorney status on TSDR. The search 1 AND 13 retrieves all 585 trademarks retrieved by search #1 - that all 585 Madrid applications received prior to August 15th that have yet to be processed by Pre-Exam (by the UNKNOWN mark drawing code) have the new application awaiting assignment to an examining attorney status on TSDR. Coincidence, or does the UNKNOWN mark drawing code prevent these 585 older Madrid applications from being assigned to EAs for examination? Another curiosity for search #13 is that the highest serial number for that search is 99012680, a 99-series application received in February that petitioned to have the filing date changed to 7 May 2024. While that petition was granted, the application still has not received the initial processing by Pre-Exam (the UNKNOWN mark drawing code) and awaits an examining attorney. The relevant status text from TSDR for 99012680 follows.

Hi list friends:
I've just returned from a weeklong vacation celebrating my birthday away from all the insanity.
The solo and small law firm amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie challenge to Trump's Executive Order is in the works.
The EO's chilling effect on lawyers' ability to represent our clients extends beyond Big Lw and has equally devastating consequences for all of us.
If you're a solo or small law firm owner and want to help out with the brief or sign on, please complete this Google form and you'll be contacted shortly:
