Trademark - Date of first use / Priority date?
-
For trademark matters when creating a new matter, where is everyone putting the date of first use in commerce and the date of first use anywhere? Are you adding it to the "priority date" or somewhere else?

I do wish the TM support was better. I think the PTO technology for TEAS etc has improved and perhaps this could be better implemented now.

I created two user fields, one for first use in commerce and one for first use anywhere. I wouldn't try to overload priority date or some other pre-existing date with first use information.
Of course, it would be nice if AppColl had standard fields for these dates.
