What a pity that the USPTO has not yet chosen to become a Depositing 
Office into the DAS system for trademark applications. Here are some of 
the world's trademark offices that have done this helpful thing:

  * Argentina
  * Australia
  * Austria
  * Brazil
  * Cuba
  * Denmark
  * France
  * Georgia
  * Italy
  * Lithuania
  * Monaco
  * Norway
  * Slovakia
  * Türkiye
  * Uruguay
