[E-trademarks] New TEAS application format potentially disrupts included specimen

[Annette Heller]

 I just went on the trademark center web site and click on the MY Application tab.  There is a list of the applications I have filed using this system.  Clicking on the serial number takes one to TSDR and in documents it just shows the application.  It is the same form that is sent by email as the receipt.
 I do like the fact that we can now see the the TSDR page right after paying the fee rather than waiting a week or so to confirm that it is in the system. But I have not used the new system until required to so I do not know what the file history looks like after the application has been in the system for a period of time. Annette

First, I just want to say I'm not crazy that the specimen filed in a 1(a) case is now merged into the "Application" file in TSDR. TSDR's "Documents" tab no longer has a separate file for the specimen (but you can open the Application file and click through on the link to the specimen). The bigger issue? That "file history" version is not reliable. It's a possible matter, so I cannot show the example, but I just pulled one and the one in the "Application" file history only got the left side of the specimen. The specimen was shown in portrait (like the whole file history) while the actual one was a PDF that was in landscape. I verified the actual specimen separately, and it was complete.  Has anyone else noticed where the specimen -- when downloaded as part of that "Application" file from TSDR does not always reproduce correctly? TimTim AckermannThe Ackermann Law Firm
