[E-trademarks] Trademark Revival Pendency (Notice of allowance)

[Ryan Bethell]

Word to the wise --

I have several applications where revivals were filed for notices of
allowance, where no extension has been yet granted, dating back to October
of 2024. Something fishy is going on at the USPTO regarding the approval of
extensions filed with a revival. This is quite frustrating, because we are
already coming up on the next sixth-month deadline to file either a
statement of use or extension for several applications, and I cannot file
either through TEAS until the previous extension is granted.

If you have clients that are nearly ready to prove use, it may be better to
hold off and file the extension and SOU together with the revival rather
than filing the revival immediately and waiting on specimens. The
exceedingly long processing times create issues with very tight (or
non-existent) online filing windows.

Warm Regards,
