The Uspto is without a leader now.
The Uspto has not granted Pool the trademark yet, and it's still awaiting examination.
According to the Uspto's 2014 report they now have over 605,000
unexamined trademark applications on file.
And yes, it's true, if you check the Uspto government website,
it clearly states that the trademark filing took place on April 8th, 2019 by a Timothy Pool.
What's interesting is that there's also a letter shared from the Uspto office that corrected the claimants about their concept of copyright,
noting that ideas and concepts can't be copyrighted.
You can use the Uspto web site if you like,
though patent searching is as much an art as a science and takes doing a lot of searches to master. See:.
File a utility patent
application and do not make any substantial money investments until you received a first Office Action from the Uspto so you can evaluate:
1 whether a patent is likely to be issued on your idea;
I had told him this was the likely result after doing a patent search, but he felt that it was worth a try(and the wrenches could be marked“Patent Pending” while the utility patent
application I filed for him was actually pending before the Uspto).
