<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p></o:p></p>
