[E-trademarks] Delay in issuance of SOU extensions?

Fri Jun 20 19:05:06 UTC 2025

We have a case that was withdrawn from publication on 12/23/24. Nothing since then.

Ridiculous!

I've had many of these over the past several months and have found that emailing TAC along with the examiner tends to work to get things moving. Typically TAC will usher it along and THEN respond saying "the status is such and such" once action has been taken, rather than responding right away to let you know they're addressing it.

Ditto.  Recently had a couple that took ~4 months to get approved.  Got nowhere with the TAC but finally enlisted the help of the original examiner and she got them unstuck.

Now dealing with a couple of requests to delete 1(b) basis for a foreign client that were filed in early March and still no action.  SOU’s due at the end of the month.

Maddening.

 [EXTERNAL]

I have had some approved immediately, and some have been close to running out the clock on the requested extension.  Doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

Hi Listmates,

The approvals used to be issued in around 24 hours, but I filed two on the 11th and haven't received approvals yet.  Is anyone else seeing this?

Thanks!
