How long is it taking these days for the Office of Patent Application Processing to mail out a Filing Receipt in a design case? I looked through some of our recently filed cases and here is what I found.
Here are some randomly selected cases from among our recent design filings:
| filed | filing receipt mailed | delay, days |
| February 21, 2019 | February 27, 2019 | 6 |
| February 14, 2019 | February 22, 2019 | 8 |
| December 8, 2018 | December 12, 2018 | 4 |
| December 4, 2018 | December 11, 2018 | 7 |
| July 12, 2018 | July 17, 2018 | 5 |
| May 29, 2018 | June 5, 2018 | 7 |
| March 13, 2018 | March 19, 2018 | 6 |
The average delay was in the range of 6 to 7 calendar days.
