We all know it. Backlogs at the USPTO are longer than ever. Every time you have a new client consultation, the question inevitably comes up: How long will the trademark registration process take? And then you've got to cringe, take a deep breath, and explain those loooong wait times to your client. Whew.

It's true, much of the trademark registration process is out of our control as trademark practitioners. It is what it is. But did you know there are actually some things you can do to mitigate delays in the examination process for your clients' applications? Wouldn't it be super helpful to learn what those things are so you implement them immediately?!

Well, mark your calendar for Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2023 at 4pm EST/1pm PST to join Sonia Lakhany and Erik Pelton and together, Let's Get Miti-GREAT!

Erik used to be an Examining Attorney at the USPTO, so who better to lead this training? He's got all the secret sauce and insider tips that take years of experience to accumulate, so you don't have to.

Below is a general list of what will be covered, but please feel free to bring your questions for the live Q&A afterward as well. The estimated time for the class is 60 minutes.

And yes...

✓ You have lifetime access
✓ There will be time for live Q&A
✓ CLE credit is offered (woohoo!)
