[E-trademarks] Duplicating applications in the new Trademark Center

[Carl Oppedahl]

Exactly.  Thank you for posting.

The way this looks to me is that the user of Trademark Center needs to 
have a crystal ball good enough to predict that the instant you click 
"submit", you will lose the ability to save drafts and make duplicates 
of drafts.

Or the user learns the hard way about this user-unfriendly "feature" of 
TC, and after a few hard knocks, the user figures out that what the user 
must do is plan ahead and make (seemingly unneeded) extra duplicate 
copies of draft applications.  One for each client, or more than one for 
each client depending on various combinations of goods and services.

Of course it would help if I were able to figure out how to use the 
"address book" feature of TC.  This feature, if only I could figure out 
how to use it, might be of some help when I need to set up a new 
application from scratch.  But so far I have not figured it out.
