[E-trademarks] translation statements, statements regarding living individuals

[Russell Nugent]

The new system does not display a negative response to the questions about whether the mark has a translation or is the name of an individual, but the applications cannot be filed without these statements being made.  I have received two office actions in the past week from Examiners that may not now (or care) that the system works that way and are requiring me to provide that information again and pay a surcharge.

Are the rest of you entering these statements as miscellaneous statements or doing something else to avoid this issue?  Has anyone else gotten a lot of office actions like this?
