Disappearance of Trade Mark (Due to its Deletion)

Question
Why some trade marks disappear when a database is rebuilt with a new Full Download of CTMs?
Answer
CTM-Download until the version 3.5 (September 2008) doesn't provide deletion of trade mark messages in its differential download instances so the trade marks which have disappeared are, in fact, deleted (logically) because they are duplicate (Double key-in). See Example of Trade Mark Deletion Instance: CTM-Download-Trade_Mark_To_Delete_Example.
