January 18, 2025 was the day that the USPTO shut down TEAS for the filing of new US trademark applications. Starting that day, the only way to file a US trademark application has been Trademark Center.
And now, as of a couple of days ago, Trademark Center has been broken for trademark applications in which the mark is a logo (rather than standard characters). The practitioner prepares the application and sends it to the client for review and possible e-signature. The client clicks on the link to review the application, and within seconds, Trademark Center jumps abruptly to its main page. It is impossible for the client to review or e-sign the application.
This was first reported two days ago by an alert trademark practitioner in the E-Trademarks Listerv, which is a community of over a thousand trademark practitioners.
