Does anyone know what "Published for Opposition" means in regards to Trademarks?

I'm looking at the AG Trademarks, and some have dates for that, and others don't. I'm guessing it means something along the lines of they're done, and the product has been put up for people to oppose, say if there's already a similar doll/item, or some other problem.

Jess's "Published for Opposition" was October 11, 2005. But Emily does not have a date.

So, I'm wondering if we can take that to mean that anything filed around now would be something that should/could come out in a few months?

If so, "Lia" was Published for Opposition on March 14th. One of the many Rebecca/Rebekkah ones was filed on April 11 (although there is a Rebekkah one that was filed in 2004, perhaps the name was a problem?), does this mean Lia is the next LE, and Rebecca, who looks to be an historical, is actually being made?

There's also a dead file for "Kietra" (pity, the name alone sounds interesting), and a just filed one for "American Girl Hopes and Dreams" which is more bath and body products.
