What happens if an application number is not received within one month of filing?

If an applicant does not receive an application number within one month of filing, they should contact the Application Assistance Unit. The MPEP states:

‘If an application number is not received within one month of the filing date, applicant should contact the Application Assistance Unit at (571) 272-4000 or (888) 786-0101.’

This contact information is provided to ensure applicants can follow up on their application status in a timely manner. It’s important to note that this one-month period is a guideline for when applicants should take action if they haven’t received their application number.
