[E-trademarks] [EXTERNAL] New security measures in TEAS

[Keller, Scott]

The other day I received emails regarding a new firm taking over a client's portfolio where, as the currently appointed attorney, I had to confirm that a change was legitimate.  There was a link to confirm in the email

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [E-trademarks] New security measures in TEAS

Has anyone else been required to seek authorization by the applicant in order to file a new POA?  When there's another appointed firm, I've always been able to upload a signed POA and make the change without further authorization.  Yesterday, however, I was required to email the applicant for authorization even though they'd already signed a POA, which I uploaded as always.

Best regards,

Katherine
