[E-trademarks] If you might need a certified copy of an application for a priority claim, don't wait

All,
 Yet another of the "how bad is it now" posts: you will likely wait *at
least* eight weeks for the USPTO to even begin work on certified copies.
 I requested and paid for certified copies of several trademark
applications more than three months before the priority deadline; it's now
been *eight weeks* and the USPTO Certified Copy Center has done nothing.
The status date is still the date I ordered them. There's nothing amiss
with the request, but due to staffing* I am told that they just have not
gotten to it yet.
 Sincerely,
Tim Ackermann
The Ackermann Law Firm

*I also got a "shutdown" comment but my understanding was that USPTO was
not currently shut down, so....
