[E-trademarks] Is Pendency Declining?

[Ken Boone]

>> [Offline comment:] Interesting, but could this just be the seasonal pattern for pendency?  Maybe you could add corresponding data for Thanksgiving 2023 - February 2024?

Good point!  I added the corresponding Wednesdays for the previous year.

Curiously, both plots were trending upwards for September to Thanksgiving.  The plots crisscross for the end of February, except the pending counts were trending upward in 2024 but trending downward in 2025.

Happier Trademarking,

I still count the pending applications almost daily.

I use LD:true NOT (SN:89* RN:*) as my search.

Below is a plot of the counts of pending applications on Wednesdays for the last 6 months.

Here's the raw data. Note the spike on 01/22/25 following the fee changes on 01/18/25 and the general decline of the counts of pending applications since last Thanksgiving.
