[E-trademarks] Did anyone else lose their trademarks on the new system?

[Laurie Marshall]

I thought that was just for the applications on the old platform. Not the new platform?

You don't often get email from jedugger at gmail.com. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
I believe Ed is correct. IDs entered before January 1 were removed after the ID Manual updates on January 1. Then all applications started prior to today were deleted as of midnight. I read through the announcement about the 17th deadline just the other day. Frustrating for sure.

If I'm not mistaken, there was an announcement about this (admittedly unusual, and frustrating) situation on the USPTO website at some point in December (specifying, as I recall, that some things created before January 1st wouldn't work after January 1st, and other things created between January 1st and January 17th wouldn't work as of January 18th).

We had drafted about 15 applications on the new system hoping our clients would file prior to the fees going up. Well that didn't happen and only about 5-6 were signed and filed in time. But... ALL OF OUR OTHER 10 APPLICATIONS ARE GONE!! On the new system! They were only supposed to inactivate the ones on the old system! This is going to cost me a ton of time and money to redraft. (1) Did anyone have this issue? (2) How can I lodge a complaint as this is totally messed up- I want them paying for this as it is so infuriating!
