We have received your application and assigned serial number '85637326' to your submission. The summary of the application data, bottom below, serves as your official filing receipt.

In approximately 3 months, an assigned examining attorney will review your application to determine if all legal requirements are met. Currently, your mark is not registered and is considered a "pending" application. The overall process from the time of initial filing to registration or final refusal can take 13-18 months or even longer, depending on many factors; e.g., the correctness of the original filing and the type of application filed.
