<p class="x_elementtoproof">Yes \u2013 very early Sunday morning I filed a new application after the client\u2019s signed copy email was received and I did not receive the confirmation page that immediately follows payment and contains a link to download a pdf filing
receipt. Fortunately, I did receive the emailed copy of the filing receipt within seconds of the filing and I had a serial number which I plugged into TSDR right then and saw the application come up so I was not overly concerned about the filing having been
received at the USPTO. But I think that is relevant to what you are asking.</p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">It's possible that [whatever the situation may be] is more complicated than a credit card outage because:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">1) I filed something on Monday afternoon / evening</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">6) Financial Manager records at the USPTO show a serial number was issued</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">7) no record of the filing has yet appeared in the online database</span></p>
