The USPTO has issued a show-cause order dated January 27, 2026 which you can see here. The order has an Exhibit A listing 3361 trademark applications. The order sets a thirty-day period (ending on February 26, 2026) in which an applicant in any one of the applications will be permitted to attempt to show cause why the application ought not to be brought to an end. (Most of the listed applications have a status of “registered”, in which case the action taken by the USPTO will be to strike the registration from the Register.)

I count 3358 trademarks in the show cause order, of which today (3/2/26) there are 2373 live registrations, 908 dead registrations, 59 pending applications and 18 dead applications. On 1/30/26, there were 2489 live registrations, so 31 days later, 116 registrations of this show cause order have been cancelled, typically for failing to submit required maintenance filings to keep the registration active. There have been no changes to the count of pending applications in the last 31 days.
