Let’s Get Miti-GREAT

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?!

Let's Get Miti-GREAT! was taught by Erik Pelton, who 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.

  • How big is the backlog?
  • Why is there a backlog?
