<p class="MsoNormal" style=" mso-ligatures: standardcontextual;margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Aptos", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Hi everyone, </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=" mso-ligatures: standardcontextual;margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Aptos", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"><o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style=" mso-ligatures: standardcontextual;margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Aptos", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">I have two cases where I filed the US basic application a month ago but the USPTO still doesn\u2019t allow me to use the pre-populated Madrid application form because \u201cthe Office has not yet completed the initial processing of the case.\u201d </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style=" mso-ligatures: standardcontextual;margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Aptos", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">I tried calling TAC just now, but they apparently close at 4pm now. Sigh.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style=" mso-ligatures: standardcontextual;margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Aptos", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Does anyone have experience with this issue \u2013 should I keep waiting, call TAC tomorrow (can I do anything to nudge them to process the basic application?), or populate the Madrid application form manually (I\u2019d prefer not to risk mistakes and then wait for the UPSTO to certify the application and send to WIPO\u2026). Thank you! </span></p>
