Amendments/Corrections are listed on the dashboard – 166 days.

I filed a batch of them in April, and they were examined last month.  No updated certificates received yet.

 [EXTERNAL]
I filed a Section 7 request back in early July that has not been acted on yet.   The PTO’s dashboard on trademark processing times doesn’t appear to include these requests.
