[E-trademarks] Anyone else not receiving SOU acceptance emails?

Wed Jul 16 21:06:02 UTC 2025

I don’t know how much of a difference it makes, Carl, but it is evidence of yet another widespread glitch in the matrix.

EXTERNAL EMAIL

Do we actually care about the physical receipt of the Notice itself?  Aren't we all using IP Badger (or equivalent) so that we learn of the acceptance when it happens?

Yes!  Just yesterday I got four registrations on ITU cases where we never got a Notice of Acceptance of the SOU.

Over the past couple of months, when we have filed statements of use, we have never gotten an acceptance email, just the notice of registration.  Looking at TSDR, the “Notice of acceptance of statement of use e-mailed” shows up in the prosecution history, but there is no acceptance email in the documents tab, so TSDR is contradicting itself (and as noted, we never received the email).

Here’s what the prosecution history looks like:

But here’s what the docs tab says:
