    Also I'm not sure how this got on the database given it's currently not even 5 am in the morning here in NZ. Maybe they have some kind of automated process that doesn't need human intervention for it to appear on the database ?
    We're assuming it was submited first to NZ, but it could have been filed in one of those countries and then made public in NZ, couldn't it?

    Don't these trademarks eventually reach all shared databases?

    Maybe they thought it would go up the day after on the database?

    No matter the topic, someone will find a way to redirect it to complain about their current aggro.

    I wonder if the had some junior local counsel do it, and he thought "Oh, no-one will even see the app for hours and hours, so it won't be accessible!". I mean, I worked for a major city law firm in London, top 30, and whilst did little IP work, we certainly had people make mistakes of the nature on occasion (mostly trainees but associates and at least one partner). And yes that would mean angry emails!

    I guess, but why even risk it? File in Tonga, Tanzania, or some other country that doesn't have a publicly-searchable TM database. They did that with Hearthstone, Overwatch League, etc. and no issues.
